SAN JOSE – Authorities have ruled a man’s death last month in San Jose a homicide.
On Nov. 27, officers were called to the 1400 block of Almaden Expressway for a report of a possible dead body inside a residence, San Jose police Officer Steven Aponte said in a news release Friday. A man was found and pronounced dead at the scene.
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office on Thursday ruled the man’s death a homicide. Aponte said the cause and manner of death is pending the results of the agency’s investigation.
