Jennifer Eckhart, who previously worked at Fox News for seven years, has died by suicide, at the age of 36. Jennifer Eckhart's mother found her dead body at her Florida residence, with a small knife positioned in close proximity, the law enforcement officials said, according to a report in The Hindustan Times. Local media reports have hinted that the former Fox News producer was discovered dead in her bathtub with a folding pocketknife by her own mother. The lacerations on her throat and neck caused serious injuries, which the police believe could have led to her death.
According to reports, Jennifer Eckhart died in the master bathroom with the small knife placed right beside her as responding officers observed serious lacerations on her body. Jennifer Eckhart's mother immediately informed the Medical Examiner's Office while investigators responded to the scene. The Sheriff's Office later confirmed that the death was a suicide after failing to find any physical evidence at her house.
