Given the headline, I'd likely agree.

I don't know what point you are making here. Can you just view him as a father who lost his only son to suicide? What if this happened to somebody you love? Maybe putting yourself in other people's shoes helps.

Just a thought.

Honestly speaking, your behavior brought back a lot of bad memories. When i lost my late boyfriend to suicide; after i lost my best childhood friends to suicide.there were a lot of rumors, assumptions, speculations.... None of these helps. All we need is really to be left alone. respect people's boundary is the right thing to do.

you don't know the why, nobody ever will.
bingo.

i think it is slightly odd that the father is on twitter so soon after his son kills himself. twitter would be the farthest thing from my mind.

A double blow. Tragic. What next? His wife divorcing him?

It's very sad, but it didn't say that anywhere in the article. It said the death was under investigation.

Likely, but you never know... He could have choked to death on a piece of pizza, or had some congenital heart defect that was never diagnosed. Or he could have slipped and hit his head on the corner of a desk.

I wouldn't presume anything at all until an expert says something.

It's very sad, though... When I read of this death, I though of my own sons and how devastated I would be if either of them was to die.

I really hope his father's problems didn't drive him to do something impulsive. That would be too much to bear for any loving father. Bolling may be a jerk, but I've known some jerks who were very good fathers.

The article says he was "fired, of course it IS CNN.

From the article, "“Fox News Channel is canceling The Specialists, and Eric Bolling and Fox have agreed to part ways amicably,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “We thank Eric for his ten years of service to our loyal viewers and wish him the best of luck.”

There is a LOT we do NOT know.

One of the reasons the media has a LOWER approval rating then even Congress is because of "reporting" claims not substantiated.

My condolences to the Bolling family.
