Overview
- Local authorities confirmed late Monday that Jennifer Eckhart, 36, was found dead at her Martin County, Florida, home and that the death appears to be a suicide, the sheriff’s office and medical examiner said.
- Eckhart was a former Fox Business associate producer and the host of the podcast REINVENTED, which focused on recovery and rebuilding after setbacks.
- She accused former Fox anchor Ed Henry of sexual assault in 2020; Fox fired Henry after an internal probe and he denied the allegations.
- Eckhart settled her claims against Henry in 2024 and her related claims against Fox were dismissed, a decision the federal appeals court upheld in April 2025.
- Reporting notes a July 2025 Palm Beach County arrest on suspicion of battery tied to an alleged domestic incident; officials have released few new details and no new legal actions were reported following her death.
