Former Fox News Producer Jennifer Eckhart Dies by Suicide in Martin County
Authorities said the former Fox Business producer had faced years of litigation after accusing Ed Henry of rape and sexual assault.
- 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.
