Rodney King the man at the center of the controversy that caused the LA riots has died at the age of 47. He was found by his fiancee at the bottom of a swimming pool. 20 years ago King's beating by the police and the trial where the officers were found not guilty sparked the 1992 LA riots. Mr. King was infamous for being quoted as saying "Can't we all just get along". This may well be the way he is remembered. Rodney King later faced many personal demons with drugs and alcohol and had just written a book about his experience.
