Tragic: Former Fox Host Eric Bolling’s Son Dies (UPDATE)
Eric Bolling, Jr. was just nineteen-years-old
Eric Bolling, Sr. was, as we recently noted, dropped from the Fox News network. Tragically, his 19-year-old son has been found dead, presumably a suicide.
The son of former Fox News Channel anchor Eric Bolling has committed suicide, TMZ reports.
Sources told the website that 19-year-old Eric Chase Bolling, Jr., took his life Friday night.
The news comes just one day after FNC announced the network had “parted ways” with Bolling amid allegations that he had sent lewd photos to co-workers.
We don’t yet know what prompted this young man to end his life. Eric, Jr. was the only child of Eric Bolling, Sr. and his wife Adrienne.
Fox News Channel confirmed the younger Bolling’s death in a statement Saturday.
“We are very saddened to hear of the passing of Eric Bolling’s son,” the statement said. “Eric Chase was a wonderful young man and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bolling family.”
Eric Chase lived in Boulder, Colorado, and studied economics at the University of Colorado Boulder, according to his Facebook.
He was the only child of Eric Bolling and wife Adrienne.
Several TV commentators, including Fox News’ Sean Hannity and CNN’s Don Lemon, tweeted their condolences for the Bolling family on Saturday.
Adrienne and I are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Eric Chase last night. Details still unclear. Thoughts, prayers appreciated.

Prayers indeed. Suicide hits hard.
Brutal.
In deepest sympathy, I don’t know what else to add.
My heart breaks for the Bollings. I can’t imagine…
23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Amen.
May he find comfort in the Arms of Angels…
Terrible. My condolences to the family.
However, cause of death has not been determined as far as I can tell. It is premature to label it.
Thus my use of the word “apparent.”
Such sorrowful news. Prayers up at this sad time.
What did he have on the Clintons?
Apparently it is politically incorrect to point out that a parent ought to refrain from despicable behavior if s/he wants a healthy family.
No, but it is unseemly to kick a man when he’s down.
How very Progressive of you.
You write: “How very Progressive of you.”
I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
You’re a sick, twisted, ugly POS.
How do you know he engaged in such behavior? Just because someone accused him?
Thats all liberals need for proof of wrong doing!
