The son of ousted Fox News host Eric Bolling died Friday at the age of 19, according to multiple reports. Eric Chase Bolling, who was a student at University of Colorado Boulder, reportedly died of an overdose just hours after his father was officially let go from Fox News. His father issued a statement Saturday saying the details were “still unclear” but authorities said “there is no sign of self harm.” The cable-news outlet announced Friday that it had cut ties with Bolling after the TV personality was accused of sexually harassing co-workers. The network released a statement Saturday saying it was “saddened to hear of the passing of Eric Bolling’s son,” adding that Bolling Jr. was a “wonderful young man.” A Boulder police spokesperson told the New York Daily News authorities were investigating the case, though no details were provided on the cause of death.
