Wow, I've Never Knew This About MLK's Younger Brother. Wow, The more you live, the more you learn..

I know MLK's mother was murdered, but not Alfred Daniel Williams King,(photo below) who was the younger brother of Martin Luther King Jr., was found dead in his swimming pool on July 21, 1969, just "fifteen months" after MLK's assassination and nine days before his 39th birthday. Officially listed as an accidental drowning, the death occurred in Atlanta, Georgia.

Although ruled an accidental drowning, many, including his mother and widow Naomi King, believed his death was suspicious, with reports of bruises and little water in his lungs, leading to speculation that he was silenced.

Hmmmm, FYI, Alfred Daniel King was a civil rights activist and pastor. Shortly before his death he had expressed determination to find out who killed his brother(MLK).

I think Kris killed him too

,.. sounds like the assassination of the Kennedy brothers, JFK and Robert F K.

Well damn, certainly a great discovery & reminder!
I certainly didn't remember his story!
Must have been very very overwhelming to create a life in the huuuge shadow his brother cast over the King family.
I'm suspicious too!
Maybe they should reopen the investigation!
I think because he was black they assumed he couldn't swim and thus...Lawwd.
RIP DANIEL WILLIAMS KING.

Hmmm, it could have been the perfect excuse to delete him while he was swimming, by simply saying that he didn't know how to swim because he's a negro and many stupid savages around the country at that time would've preferred to believe in this version.

So wow, you didn't know about Alfred Daniel King yourself, thought it was just me.
