Title: Family asking for help to bury Rodney King - $22,000
Post by: Nails on June 25, 2012, 04:38:09 PM
Rodney King's Family, We Need HELP with $22,000 Funeral cost



(http://rapradar.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/rodney-king1.jpg)


Rodney King was not a wealthy man when he died ... and now his family is asking the public for donations so they can pay for a proper burial for the infamous LAPD beating victim.

Despite the fact King scored a $3.8 million settlement from the City of L.A. after the 1992 incident, King's family tells TMZ ... there is basically no money left over to pay for his funeral costs, which are expected to run north of $22k.

The family has now issued a statement, through their rep, Kali Bowyer, asking people to contribute to a memorial fund established "for those who wish to contribute to the King family."

King's 3 adult daughters, along with other family members, are desperately trying to come up with the cash ... but Bowyer tells us, "They need the money."

King is scheduled to be laid to rest on June 30.

As far as the mystery surrounding Rodney's death, the family says, "[We are] looking forward to a swift investigation into the death of our father, as well as we put our faith in the authorities responsible for handling the matter."

If he had invested right, could he have lived off the 3.5 million for the rest of his life?

I need solid answers from the economists and bankers on GB!

Lets break down this 3.5 million. 3 million for a house then 500k on a car. Now he doesn't even have money left over for proper rims, and you think he could live off that forever?

With a 3.8 settlement I assume that house he lives in was paid for with cash so they could sell it very quickly for the right price

Anyone who gives this family money is an idiot
