A body found in the water at Pier 39 on Wednesday was identified as missing San Francisco radio host Jeffrey Vandergrift, according to the San Francisco medical examiner's office.
San Francisco police first responded to reports of a person in the water at Pier 39 shortly before 5 p.m.
On Thursday, the San Francisco medical examiner confirmed that the body was Vandergrift, 54, who was last seen in late February at his home on King Street.
His employer, Wild 94.9, said there was no trackable activity on his phone, credit cards or bank accounts since he was reported missing.
His wife announced on his radio station's social media channels that Vandergrift will likely "not be coming back", due to personal information discovered in early March.
Police do not suspect foul play in Vandergrift's death.
