The recent death of a Pacifica man is being treated as a homicide because the circumstances of the death are suspicious, San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said Friday.
Kim Epperson, 50, was found dead in the Linda Mar area Thursday around 6:30 p.m., according to Pacifica police.
The Pacifica Police and Fire Department found Epperson’s body after responding to a call reporting a medical emergency.

Foucrault said the position of the body and where it was found warranted treating the death as a homicide. Coroner’s investigators could not determine how Epperson died because of the condition of his body when it was recovered, but they estimated it was within 24 hours of being found, Foucrault said.
