Found Deceased CA - Jeffrey “JV” Vandergrift, 54, radio personality, considered "at risk", San Francisco, 24 Feb 2023

While it is certainly possible that he committed suicide (chronic illness, depression, statements and previous attempt), there are several things that are raising red flags for me.

1). I’m not finding the original post posted anywhere or what it said, just the changed version. Daily Mail states it was edited after his disappearance. If so, it seems odd. How long between when he was last seen wha it changed and how drastically.

2) Why edit a 6 month old IG post instead of just making a new one? If the wording was similar- like just changed to past tense -that is an awful lot of work and seems more like someone trying to make it look like he was suicidal.


3) Maybe it’s just me but I have been suicidal because of health issues and posting something on social media was the least of my concerns. Are there personal text messages or anything that is more one on one? I’d be asking that question.

4) It would not be the first time someone met with foul play and made it look self inflicted.

MY OPINION ONLY. I am only speculating and posting questions that came to mind after reading the articles.
he probably didnt want them to figure it out right away. and he is a media personality so maybe he felt he owed the public some type of answer or gratitude.
 
What do you think “evidence that leads us to believe he is not coming back” that sfpd asked the family to keep to themselves? A suicide note? Has to be, right?
Yes, I think JV realized that leaving notes prevented him from being able to complete the act last time, so he left a note that was scheduled to release after he had been gone for a while. Just my guess.
