Addicts Don’t Float: Rodney King Found Dead
Rodney King was the deadliest addict in the history of the State of California, having 55 deaths under his belt, in addition to over 2000 injuries, resulting from riots caused by his alcohol and drug taking spree. He apparently got drunk or stoned and tried to go for a swim. He floated about as well as Whitney Houston.
From the NYPost here:
Rodney King, whose videotaped 1991 beating by Los Angeles police officers led to riots, was found dead Sunday morning. He was 47.
King’s representative, Suzanne Wickman, confirmed to KABC-TV that King’s fiancee found him dead at his home.
Police sources told TMZ that officers responded to a call at a home in Rialto, about 55 miles east of Los Angeles, at 5:25am local time.
They removed King from the bottom of a swimming pool and attempted CPR. He was pronounced dead at 6:11am, sources said.
Police in Rialto will investigate King’s death as a drowning, according to TMZ.
It takes about a month for the bloodwork to come back to determine how drunk King was. But its a good bet he was on something. Remember, California already gave this dangerous addict a marijuana card. Also, he was found in Rialto, which is not the “sober house” that Dr. Drew gave to Rodney King on Celebrity Rehab. Who gets the house now?
