Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by LAPD officers sparked a national debate about police use of force two decades ago, died Sunday at his home in Rialto, Calif.
Investigators with the Rialto Police Department are treating King's death as accidental; he was found submerged in his pool after his fiancee called 911, reports the Los Angeles Times .
In recent years, King had been pulled over several times for driving erratically, and April 29 marked the 20-year anniversary of the Los Angeles riots that followed the acquittal of the officers taped in 1991 beating King.
