Rodney King death ruled accidental

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — The death of Rodney King earlier this year was ruled an accidental drowning and there were multiple illegal drugs in his system, police said Thursday.

Rialto police said the county medical examiner's report showed King had drugs such as PCP, cocaine and marijuana in his system when he died in June, the San Bernardino Sun (bit.ly/OXVE3I) reported.

The autopsy report is due to be released later Thursday.
