Eric Bolling's son was found dead on Friday, just hours after Fox News announced that it was parting ways with the former Fox News host.
TMZ reported that Eric Chase Bolling, 19, was found dead Friday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, the result of what the outlet first reported was a suicide, and later said was a drug overdose.
One source close to Bolling, however, disputed TMZ's reporting, saying that authorities have not yet determined a cause of death.
Bolling confirmed the news in a tweet, though he cautioned that the circumstances surrounding his son's death were still unclear.
"Adrienne and I are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Eric Chase last night. Details still unclear. Thoughts, prayers appreciated," he wrote.
Following the news of Chase Bolling's death, Fox News issued a brief statement on 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."
A number of prominent journalist and media personalities offered their respects to Bolling's family.
