Randy DeAnda, King was found by his fiancee, Cynthia Kelley, at the bottom of the swimming pool at his Rialto, CA home. After law enforcement responded to a 911 call at 5:45 a.m. PST, King was removed from the pool and CPR was attempted. According to police reports, King was pronounced dead at 6:11 a.m. PST, a local hospital. <\/p>\n<p>King&#8217;s notoriety came after being brutally beaten by police March 2, 1991. Later in his life, King&#8217;s alcohol and substance abuse and subsequent arrests would plague him, and he would appear on the second season of &#8220;Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew&#8221; and the show&#8217;s spin-off, &#8220;Sober House.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>King <a href=\"http:\/\/pressrelated.com\/press-release-pop-singing-star-and-model-karina-bradley-is-special-guest-at-the-rodney-king-celebrity-boxing-matc.html\">also participated<\/a> in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2009\/09\/10\/rodney-king-to-fight-form_n_282866.html\">2009 Celebrity Boxing Federation fight<\/a> against former police officer Simon Aouad.  He was also <a href=\"http:\/\/pbmorningshow.wordpress.com\/2011\/09\/27\/\">present<\/a> during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tout.com\/m\/w0l3i6\">last year&#8217;s Celebrity Fight Night<\/a> hosted by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmon.com\/tv\/htmlmain\/\">FilmOn.com<\/a> and the site&#8217;s founder and CEO, Alki David. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rodney lived an interesting life,&#8221; said David. &#8220;He was a sweet and gentle-natured man who I liked very much. He brought important racial issues to the forefront and his one simple line&#8211;&#8220;Can&#8217;t we all just get along?&#8221;&#8211;symbolizes the most important issue in any society. I&#8217;m not sure how much people realize the important role he played in bringing down a lot of the racial divides in America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2012\/06\/17\/rodney-king-dead-celebrity-boxing\/\">TMZ<\/a>, King was reportedly &#8220;excited&#8221; for his upcoming August celebrity boxing match before he died; the press conference had been scheduled for June 29.
