Eric Bolling’s Son Dies in Colorado
Eric Chase, the son of former Fox News host Eric Bolling was found dead in Colorado on Friday evening. TMZ notes it appears to be a suicide just hours after it was announced that his father would be leaving the television network in the wake of salacious allegations.
On Twitter, however, Eric Bolling stated that authorities have informed him and his wife that there was no sign of self-harm and that an autopsy would be conducted next week.
Adrienne and I are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Eric Chase last night. Details still unclear. Thoughts, prayers appreciated.
