Rodney King Found Dead in Swimming Pool [VIDEO]

Rodney King, who's name was made famous after being beaten by Los Angeles police officers back in 1991, was found dead in his swimming pool early Sunday morning. He was 47.

CNN reports:

Police in Rialto, California, received a 911 call from King's fiancee, Cynthia Kelly, about 5:25 a.m., said Capt. Randy DeAnda. Responding officers found King at the bottom of the pool, removed him and attempted to revive him. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital, DeAnda said.

There were no preliminary signs of foul play, he said, and no obvious injuries on King's body. Police are conducting a drowning investigation, DeAnda said, and King's body would be autopsied.
