: Rodney King, the man who was at the center of the infamous Los Angeles riots, was found dead this morning, TMZ has reported. He was 47.
According to TMZ, King's fiancée, Cynthia Kelly, found him dead at the bottom of a swimming pool. CNN has confirmed his passing.
King recently marked the twentieth anniversary of the Los Angeles riots -- the six days of mayhem that took place after four police officers were acquitted of beating King in 1991. The beating, which was caught on camera, sparked national outrage and put King at the center of heated debate about the state of race relations in America.
