‘My wife and I are out to dinner having a very normal dinner,’ Bolling says in the video that was released om Thursday.

‘On the way home my wife was driving and my phone rang. It was about 10:30 at night.

‘My cell phone rang and it was a young man who was panicked. He said, “Mr. Bolling, call Kayla (a friend of their son) right now.”

‘I said: “What’s going on?”

‘And he said: “Just call Kayla right now.”

‘She answered her phone.

Bolling said he heard the news about his son as he was returning home from dinner with his wife, Adrienne Bolling (seen left with her husband in December 2016)

‘I said, “Kayla” – and for some reason my mind went right to this as a parent – “Kayla, is he alive?” and she said “No.”

‘At that moment, my wife, who was in the driver’s seat – we had pulled over to the side of the road – literally fell into the road.

‘I had to gather her up and we sat on the curb for about an hour, crying, talking, trying to figure out what just happened.

‘We never saw it coming. We never thought we would get that call. Every parent doesn’t want it. We got it.’

Bolling’s former colleague, Fox News host Bret Baier, tweeted in support: ‘Very tough to watch – as I have told you, Eric — we are all so sorry for your loss’

Bolling said that he and his wife were left with feelings of guilt.

‘Is it something we did?’ he asked.

‘And then it’s also coupled with [the thought] “What are people going to think? What are our neighbors going to think? What are our friends going to think?”

‘It sounds shallow, but those are some of the things that go through your mind.’

Bolling said that since going public with the news of Eric Chase’s d3ath, he has been ‘overwhelmed’ by the number of people who have also dealt with loss due to addiction.

On September 8, it was reported that Fox News fired Bolling, who until that time was the host of the daily news show ‘Fox News Specialists,’ after an investigation revealed he had sent explicit photos of his g3nitals to female colleagues at the network.

The d3ath of Eric Chase Bolling was announced the next day – fueling speculation that he had committed su1cide because he was so distraught over his father’s downfall.

Bolling’s former colleague, Fox News host Bret Baier, tweeted in support: ‘Very tough to watch – as I have told you, Eric — we are all so sorry for your loss.’

But toxicology reports confirmed that the cause of d3ath was an accidental overd0se.

The coroner found that at the time of his d3ath, Eric Chase had taken a mixture of cocaine, marijuana, Xanax, and two opi0ids – fentanyl and cyclopropyl fentany, according to PEOPLE.

Last month, Bolling, 54, announced that he teamed up with President Donald Tr”mp – who Bolling said called him following his son’s d3ath – to tackle the opi0id epidemic.

‘For the past few months I’ve been working directly with President Tr”mp and his senior advisers handing the White House’s opi0id awareness initiatives,’ Bolling wrote in an op-ed for CNN last month.

‘I pray my voice helps parents realize the importance of getting involved in their kids’ social activities.

‘You see, opi0ids are the unbiased kller of our most precious commodity, our children. Opi0ids kll athletes, straight-A students, white, Hispanic, black, rich, poor, gay, straight, girls and boys alike.’
