Rodney King made waves in the 90s with his police issue. He was one of the individuals responsible for how police can deal with different ethnic groups in terms of speech and laws. Mr King was found dead in his swimming pool on Sunday; his fiancée called the police. He died at the age of 47 and was pronounced dead at the local hospital. Hospital staff attempted to revive him, though he was not breathing when he was found in the pool. At this time the police do not suspect any foul play in the matter. They are currently conducting an investigation into drowning, but they will make an announcement should anything change during the autopsy or in the investigation. His fiancée told the police that she heard him in the back yard.
In 1994 Mr King became a well-known name for his lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles. His fiancée was a juror on the trial. Rodney King was in a high-speed car chase in Los Angeles. He was beaten after the car chase ended. At the time he was 25, on parole for a robbery conviction in 1991, and was drinking before the car chase started. He recently had an interview in 2011 recounting what happened. King was by no means a law-abiding citizen; he was in trouble with the law many times for offenses such as robbery. His troubles appeared to be related to alcohol abuse, but many people remember him as being a sweet man.
