Eric Chase Bolling, son of former Fox News Channel’s once rising star Eric Bolling, was reported found dead sometime Friday night as reported by both Mediaite.com and the New York Daily News.
As reported, the death of Bolling, Jr. comes on the news that his father was cut loose by Fox News after the still unproven accusations that he sent “unsolicited photos of his genitalia to three female colleagues.”
Bolling has since responded to the public via social media;
Adrienne and I are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Eric Chase last night. Details still unclear. Thoughts, prayers appreciated.

After a slew of media reports that his son in fact killed himself, a short one hour later, Bolling followed up with;
Authorities have informed us there is no sign of self harm at this point. Autopsy will be next week. Please respect our grieving period.

In a statement from Fox News;
“We are very saddened to hear of the passing of Eric Bolling’s son. Eric Chase was a wonderful young man and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bolling family.”
The younger Bolling was enrolled at the University of Colorado Boulder studying economics, according to his Facebook profile.
At the age of 19, he was the only child of Bolling and his wife Adrienne.
The elder Bolling was quite the star at Fox News, first as a contributor on the sister station, Fox Business, then moving to the highly successful The Five at the Fox News Channel, proper.
While The Five moved from its 5 PM slot to mid-evening, Bolling co-hosted the newly launched The Fox News Specialists at the 5 PM slot with co-hosts Eboni Williams and Kat Timpf.
During his weeks-old “suspension” of Bolling from The Specialists, while the FNC big-wigs pondered Bolling’s future at the network, his chair was filled by rotating guest hosts.
On the same day of the death of their son, the FNC announced the cancellation of The Specialists.
Update: Liberal hatemongers are now using the death to attack Bolling, calling it “karma.”
