BOULDER, Colo. — The son of former Fox News host Eric Bolling died Friday night, hours after Fox announced that Bolling was leaving the network.

Bolling said in a tweet Saturday that he and his wife, Adrienne, are devastated by the loss of their son, Eric Chase Bolling, a sophomore at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

Boulder police were investigating a death near the university, but Sgt. Nick Smetzer said the department would not release the circumstances of the death or identify the person.

The coroner’s office typically releases the names of people whose deaths are investigated after a few days.

On Friday, Fox News Channel said it had parted ways with Bolling, who had been suspended in August following allegations that he sent lewd photos to female co-workers.
