We knew that Rodney King may have been drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana right before his death in June, but it the autopsy conclusion has revealed two more influencing factors.

The former Celebrity Rehab star was also using cocaine and PCP!

Ugh! So sad that he gave into his demons and, from the looks of it, they cost him his life.

King, whose

The plot surrounding Rodney King's unusual death has thickened!

Although cops don't suspect foul play and believe Cynthia Kelly's story, two close friends have stepped forward with suspicions of their own.

Not only do they NOT buy King's fiancee's story, which seemed to change every time she told it, but one has revealed that the deceased was considering dumping her!

Damon Feldman worked with the social activist on the celebrity boxing circuit and says that he had been complaining about Cynthia the last few weeks. In fact, he had gone as far as to mention that their relationship was

Rodney King's cause of death is still unknown, but two close friends of the famous figure aren't buying his fiancee's story!

Cynthia Kelley claims that Rodney had been drinking heavily and smoking reefer before screaming and banging on the glass in the nude around 5am on Sunday. She called the cops and heard a splash. When authorities arrived at the California home, they discovered his dead body in the pool.

Unbelievably sad.

Rodney King, an integral force behind the LA Riots who was infamously beaten by police back in 1991, was found dead Sunday morning in his home in Rialto, CA.

Supposedly, Rodney's fiancee discovered his body at the bottom of the pool.

The cause of death is currently unknown.

Our hearts go out to Rodney's loved ones during this extremely difficult time.

Rodney King STILL can't catch a break.

Back in March, King was pulled over by police just one day before the 20th anniversary of his infamous beating that was caught on tape.

He was cited for driving with an expired license, and then released. This time, though, he may be in much more trouble.

Rodney King is currently being held by police in Riverside County, CA on suspicion of DUI.

An investigation is underway to determine if he was driving under the influence.

For Rodney's sake, he better hope they don't find anything in his system. Given the fact that he had a prior DUI back in 2003, a judge is unlikely to show him too much sympathy this time around.
