The van der Waals ferromagnet (FM), VI$_3$, was studied by muon spin relaxation ($\mu^+$SR) and first principle calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). Temperature dependent zero field muon spin relaxation ($\mu^+$SR) measurements confirm the onset of long range FM order and the time spectra exhibits clear muon spin precession frequencies for $TComment: 6 pages, 2 figures
