The deputy, identified as Soo H. Kim, was assigned to the West Hollywood Station, according to the sheriff’s department.
It was unclear what time Kim was found Friday night.
Soo graduated from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Academy in 2012. His assignments included custody at the Pitchess Detention East Facility, Central Regional Detention Center, Pitchess Detention Center South Facility, Court Services at Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center Courthouse, Van Nuys Courthouse and patrol at the sheriff’s West Hollywood station.
An autopsy will determine his cause of death, the department said.
“Throughout his assignments, Deputy Kim was well liked and respected by many. He was known for his professionalism, warmhearted personality, and easy-going attitude,” the department posted on its Facebook page Saturday. “He always took pride in being a deputy sheriff, no matter what situation he was involved in without hesitation.”
Kim is survived by his wife and their twin girls.

i knew this guy. he was so kind. He died because his heart stopped. His father-in-law found him and quickly called his daughter, but he was already dead. My mom says that even if he was found one minute before what happened, he could have been saved, but his wife was at the grocery store.

Jeri says
It should be news
Joje says
Why is this news?
Really? says
Anything to do with the police is news since the microscopic woke investigative movement started. However he died, some group will be able to turn it into something.

huh, what are you talking about?
David Spencer says
He is talking about Woke Investigative Movements. If you don’t know what “Woke” means it can be found via on-line research.
Samuel says
Greta Thunberg syndrome, where phenomena hypothesis, syllogism, allegory or theory becomes religion; ie., where a subject is said to having been abruptly awakened (e.g., Ebonics translation, “woke”), and in an epiphany, phenomena indicative of systemic racism, global warming, inherent evil of capitalism becomes integrated into an artificial consciousness wholly devoid intellectual depth, breathe or extent of the mathematical, theoretic, or scientific, of deductive architecture of the belief they’ve integrated to such extent, they’ve blinded themselves to irony of their own hypocrisy (e.g., cargo cults; Gavin Newsom; NBA millionaires caught up in conspicuous consumption, lamenting the very circumstance which enriched them) –
Ginny says
Example, woke consciousness:
“The perpetrator resisted arrest. Due to preexisting pulmonary and cardiac issues while under the influence of alcohol and barbiturates, the perpetrator died of a seizure during arrest. Therefore, as a result of racism and police brutality, coincidentally entitles me tear at the fabric of society, to riot, loot and shoplift to my heart’s content, driving small business into bankruptcy.”
Concept of “Woke” is a 70’s cornbread, granola bar flashback, to a contemporary Generation Jones state of artificial conscienceless whereby the slightest inkling of truth repels an artificially enlightened individual to knee-jerk, to a safe-space of frame dependency, or confirmation biased.

Heart attack?
