Rodney King passes away at age of 47


One of the most polarizing individuals over the past 50 years was found dead. Allhiphop reports:

Los Angeles legend Rodney King is dead at the age of 47.

According to reports, King’s fiancĂ©e found him dead at the bottom of a pool this morning.

Rodney King’s beating, which was caught on videotape in 1991, sparked the Los Angeles riots a year later, when the four officers involved in his beating, were acquitted.

Authorities are still trying to determine the exact cause of death, and how King ended up at the bottom of the pool.

***UPDATE***

According to witnesses, Rodney and his fiancee were having a fight, and he threatened to leave her. Later in the night, they heard him crying and sobbing uncontrollably, then complete silence. THEN A SPLASH! They said she kept trying to get him to come in the house, and he didn’t comply.
