Coroner: Legendary Bay Area Radio Host Likely Died Of Exposure
December 5, 2018
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Retired Bay Area broadcast legend Ray Taliaferro, whose body was found in the woods in Paducah, Kentucky, likely died from exposure to the elements, the coroner announced late Tuesday night.
In a late night news release, the Paducah police department said foul play had been ruled out in his death.
“An autopsy was conducted today at the Regional Crime Lab in Madisonville,” the statement said. “A report has not been finalized, but exposure to the elements may have been a factor in the California man’s death.”
Taliaferro, a legendary Bay Area journalist for KGO radio went missing last month in Kentucky.
He and his wife of six months — Charlotte Crawford — were visiting a property she had inherited in Brookport, Illinois. Police and a family spokesperson both said that Taliaferro and Crawford were preparing to leave the property in a rental car together, when she went to the rear of the house to check on a window.
When she returned, the car and Taliaferro, who may have been suffering from memory issues, were gone. A search was launched in Illinois and nearby states.
His body was found Sunday evening in a “wooded area approximately a mile from where he was last seen,” a family statement said.
