This is a shocking development -- she was so terribly young.

Yolanda Denise King, daughter and eldest child of civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., has died, said Steve Klein, a spokesman for the King Center.

King died late Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., at age 51.

Klein said the family did not know the cause of death but that relatives think it might have been a heart problem.

This is, of course, a terrible tragedy for the King family, and my prayers are with them at this time.
