Former Fox News host Eric Bolling has announced that his son, Eric Chase, died of an opioid overdose on September 8.

Bolling tweeted that the coroner ruled his 19-year-old son’s death an “accidental overdose.”

The former Fox News host told the public the same day President Trump declared the opioid crisis a “National Public Health Emergency.”

“Almost every American has witnessed the horrors of addiction. Whether it’s through their own struggle or through the struggle of a friend, a co-worker, a neighbor or, frankly, a family member, our current addiction crisis, and especially the epidemic of opioid deaths, will get worse before it gets better. But get better it will,” Trump said Wednesday.
