Former Fox News host Eric Bolling has announced via Twitter results from the Colorado Coroner who examined his son who tragically died last month. Bollings son, Eric Chase, passed away on the day that Fox News announced that Bolling would no longer be an employee after an internal investigation into sexual harassment allegations was completed. Chase was only 19 years old when he died.

The tragic death of Bollings son was in the media news recently after Bill OReilly suggested in an on-the-record interview with the NY Times reporters that Bollings son was dead because of their report on Bollings alleged indiscretions. Bolling took exception with his former cohorts comments, strongly rebuking them as beyond inappropriate for OReilly to invoke his son in such a manner, after which, OReilly quickly apologized.
Bollings Twitter comments including a national epidemic (which appears to be about opioid deaths) comes on the same day that President Donald Trump addressed assembled media and guests in the White House to declare the nations problems with opioid addiction a crisis. Bolling and Trump are friends and the coordination of his opioid tweet could foretell some future collaboration between Bolling and the White House on working on the opioid crisis.

I hope something serious is done soon to address this. It won't be coming from popular vote loser Donald Trump's admin, it will have to be more organic and community based I think.
