Not a surprise. The surprise is that he lasted this long.

Apparently his body was found at the bottom of his pool.  I wonder what happened.  Heart attack while swimming, maybe?

I have to give him credit in that he seemed to be getting his life together after a long stretch of alcohol addiction, and for his statement during the L.A. riots which caused many in his community to label him an "Uncle Tom" at the time. "Can we all just get along" has entered our language as a pop/cultural statement, but when he said it, it was clear that the violence following the acquittal of the police officers who beat him was anguishing to Rodney King. I wish him the peace in the next life that he didn't seem to find in this one.

A life with a long trail of sorrow. I hope he finds peace in the next life.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
