Rodney King drinking, smoking marijuana before death?

[23536]

Rodney King's fiancée has apparently revealed more details on the public figure's recent death.

King was found dead at the bottom of a swimming pool by his fiancée today (June 17) in Rialto, California.

The victim of police brutality in 1991, King's court case against the officers who beat him incited the Los Angeles riots, after all four men were acquitted.

TMZ reports that King's fiancée Cynthia Kelley has apparently told friends that King, who suffered from a history of drug abuse, had been smoking marijuana and drinking prior to his death.

Sources say that Kelley claims King spent most of Saturday (June 16) drinking alcohol, and smoked marijuana at some point before she went to sleep at around 2am.

Kelley was later awoken at 5am, when she heard King's screams coming from the backyard.

She allegedly saw King naked, banging on the window, and when she went to pick up her phone, heard a splash. Minutes later, she found the 47-year-old King at the bottom of the pool.

Why did she wait several minutes before going out to check on him?

Wow, but I wonder what drugs are in his blood. I couldn't see this happening simply on alcohol and marijuana. Maybe if he was very drunk though. Well just have to wait for the toxicology report.

It happens when people are straight, so I can. There's many factors that can contribute to someone drowning in the water. Who knows what really did it, but if you bump ya head on the edge, if you dive into a shallow end and break ya neck or back, or if you have a heart attack, many things can happen in and around pools.
