Inland Empire: Rodney King found dead in his Rialto pool

LA riots figure Rodney King was found dead in his pool this morning at 1051 East Jackson Street in Rialto.

King's house was purchased in 2001 for $156,000. How does a man who won a $3.8 million settlement end up in the second-worst place in America? Why would a man predisposed to drug and alcohol problems choose to live in the #2 most depressing place in America? Anyone with anywhere close to $3.8 million should never set foot in the Inland Empire.

And what's up with the fiancée not even trying to save him? $3.8 million can't buy swimming lessons?

I wonder if Mr. King had brought up the issue of a prenup recently?
