King died late Tuesday in Santa Monica, California, said Steve Klein, a spokesman for the King Center. The family did not know the cause of death, but relatives think it might have been a heart problem, he said.

my sincere apologies and condolences go out to the king family.

i’m proud that a wonderful woman such as herself was able to leave such a mark in the cold, repressive society.

her story should have been first.not these other people who will not leave a legacy such as yolonda king.our people are dying at an alarming rate. i do not know the cause of her death but i myself am a big girl. i know i need to handle that quick, fast, and in a hurry. by the way gerald levert and anna nicole both had drugs in their systems. so that is different.i hope she is resting in peace.
