The wife of a radio host whose body was found floating in the San Francisco Bay after a month-long search opened up about her husband’s heartbreaking death.
Natasha Yi, a fellow host at the Bay Area’s Wild 94.9, said her fear was transformed into sorrow when Jeffrey “JV” Vandergrift’s body was found last Wednesday by Pier 39.
“Every moment he was missing was agonizing for me,” she wrote on Instagram.
“But the pain I feel now is something I have never felt before. My heart is crushed, and I cannot see myself ever moving forward, ever feeling joy or being at peace.”
It remains unclear what led to his death as police said there was no evidence of foul play involved.
Vandergrift’s social media posts prior to his death suggested he might have been suffering from mental health issues at the time.
Yi, who married Vandergrift in 2006 and renewed their wedding vows in 2017, declined to share any information about his death out of respect for him and their family.
“I am devastated that the love of my life is gone,” she wrote. “But what I do know is that JV loved his work and he loved connecting with all of you. He loved his family, and I know he loved me as much as I love him. Our bond was truly unmatched.
“JV, my love, I will cherish the time we had together and will miss you until the day I see you again.”
