When was Andrew Lee’s death made public?
On Monday, June 27, Lee’s co-host Jon Justice announced the news of his demise. At the time of the announcement, Justice was in a hospital at the University of Minnesota, where he was recovering from open-heart surgery.
Justice stated that this was the hardest thing he had ever done in his radio career and added that Lee’s wife was with him at the time of his passing. He said that he had asked to be the one to make the announcement to the public. He then went on to say:
“Drew was my best friend. He was your friend and I don’t need to tell you how special he was. It goes without saying that I’m devastated and he will be tragically missed. Everybody here at iHeart is grieving. We ask for your prayers for Drew’s family as they get through this difficult time.”
It remains unknown whether Lee was suffering from any health issues in the past. The family has not yet released an official cause of death.
