Rodney King Found Dead In His Swimming Pool

[super jumbe]

The man whose videotaped beating by police officers led to the 1992 Los Angeles riots has been found dead in his swimming pool.

Rodney King was surrounded and beaten by police officers in the city on March 3, 1991. The incident was caught on camera.

Four officers involved in the incident were acquitted of using excessive force the following year, and the verdict sparked riots which left more than 50 people dead.

Rialto Police captain Randy Deanda said King was found "unresponsive" at the bottom of his pool on Sunday morning.

Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding King's death, and an investigation will now be opened.

King suffered brain damage during the police beating, and successfully sued the City of Los Angeles for ?2.5m.

Speaking ahead of this year's 20th anniversary of the riots, King said racism still has to be challenged.

There is nothing whatever in the report of his death about suicide or head injuries.

The head injuries he suffered were 20 years ago!
