Jennifer Eckhart, a former Fox Business associate producer, died by suicide at age 36 in her Florida home on September 19, 2026. Her death follows a five-year legal battle in which she accused former Fox News anchor Ed Henry of rape and sexual misconduct. Eckhart’s lawsuit against Henry settled in June 2025, while her claims against Fox News were dismissed by a federal court in March 2025. Authorities confirmed the death as a suicide, noting a history of mental health crises and recent medication non-compliance.
