In March 1991, Rodney King was savagely beaten by four white police officers. The incident was caught on camera, and broadcast around the world. The four police officers were then found Not Guilty, triggering the infamous LA riots. It was King who famously called for peace, asking, 'Can we all just get along?' But on Sunday the 17th of June 2012, 47 year old King was found by his fiancé, face down in his backyard swimming pool. Using information revealed in Rodney King's autopsy report Dr Michael Hunter investigates his final hours and his mysterious death: 'Rodney King was a fit man and a good swimmer. There's no evidence of any obvious trauma, so how did he drown in his own pool?'
