touchstone for one of the most destructive race riots in the
nation's history, was found at the bottom of his swimming pool
early Sunday and later pronounced dead. He was 47.  The 1992

than 2,000 injured.  Rialto Police Capt. Randy De Anda told KNX

officers responded to the location and removed him from inside
of the pool and began CPR," De Anda said. "The Rialto Fire
