Jennifer Eckhart, a former Fox Business associate producer and podcast host, was found dead Friday in her Florida home.

She was 36.

According to Martin County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Christine Christofek, Eckhart appeared to have died by suicide.

More from the New York Post:

Eckhart hosted “REINVENTED,” a podcast that her website described as featuring prominent figures in business, sports and entertainment who had overcome adversity on their path to success.

The most recent episode was posted in March and featured former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg.

Eckhart previously worked as an associate producer at Fox Business.

In 2020, she accused journalist Ed Henry of sexual assault. Henry was fired by Fox News that year following an investigation into a complaint involving alleged sexual misconduct.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office did not provide additional details about the circumstances surrounding Eckhart’s death.

Eckhart’s podcast had centered on guests discussing setbacks, obstacles and efforts to rebuild their lives and careers, according to the description on her website.

Police officers said Eckhart’s mother is the one who found her body, TMZ noted.

A small knife was reportedly nearby.

TMZ explained further:

TMZ has obtained the incident report from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, which says Eckhart’s mother contacted authorities after arriving at her daughter’s home Saturday and finding her dead inside the bathtub in the master bathroom.

The report says deputies found a folding pocketknife near Eckhart and observed serious injuries from lacerations. Crime scene investigators and the Medical Examiner’s Office were then called to the home.

Deputies responded shortly before noon, and a Martin County Fire Rescue paramedic pronounced Eckhart dead at 11:57 AM.
