Rodney King Dead at 47

The unexpected death of Rodney King is raising questions. The 47-year-old was thrust into the national spotlight back in 1991, when his videotaped beating sparked riots, as well as debates on brutality and race relations. King apparently drowned in his pool, but those who knew him say he was a strong swimmer.
