from Mediaite:
...Yashar Ali reported Saturday that, Eric Bollings Son, Eric Chase, died last night. At this time the circumstances remain unclear. Chase, was 19 years old and Bollings only child.
Very sad news, Eric Bollings son, who was only 19, died last night, said Ali. By all accounts, Eric was incredibly devoted to his son. Heartbreaking.
A source close to Eric Bolling also confirmed the news to Mediaite. A different source said the cause of death was suicide.

(6,979 posts)A great deal of sympathy for his loss. It's horrible losing a child especially if he committed suicide. To have to bury a child, I can't imagine the pain.
However, I can recall seeing many clips of Boiling expressing little to NO sympathy for the Seth Rich family, because he kept reporting on the Seth Rich story which was a big fat LIE. He even did a segment with fellow slime-ball Newt Gingrich in which they both pretty much signed off on Hillary having a hand in Seth Rich's death. Pretty sure the Rich Family felt horrible as they pleaded almost DAILY with Faux News to please STOP spreading that LIE--because they were grieving for their beloved son. Yet, there sat Hannity, Boiling and several disgusting and craven anchors running with that LIE incessantly night after night. And, now you have imbeciles on the right railing on twitter saying that left wingers murdered Boiling's son.

The irony apparently escapes those on the right using this tragedy to push their political points. They really need to dehumanize their opponents in order to maintain their political pique. Maybe that's something important for all of us to recognize in this sad development.
