Former Fox News Producer Jennifer Eckhart Dies by Suicide in Martin County
Authorities said the 36-year-old former Fox Business producer and podcast host died by suicide after being found in her Martin County home.
- Jennifer Eckhart, a former Fox Business associate producer who filed a 2020 sexual assault lawsuit against former anchor Ed Henry, died by suicide Saturday in her Hope Sound, Florida home.
- Eckhart filed the lawsuit in June 2020 alleging Henry raped her and performed 'sadistic acts' in 2017; Henry, fired from Fox News that year, denied the allegations, claiming the relationship was consensual.
- After settling her lawsuit in June 2025, Eckhart focused on her podcast, REINVENTED, to support survivors. She described the five-year legal process as an 'exhaustive, retraumatizing' battle that she struggled to bear.
- Her mother, Cynthia Eckhart, discovered her daughter's body Saturday, prompting a heavy police presence at the residence. The Martin County Medical Examiner's Office subsequently ruled the death a suicide.
- The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provides free, confidential mental health assistance in the USA, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Those seeking support can call or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org.
