In lieu of an autopsy and definitive proof on the cause of Eric Chase Bolling Jr.’s death, Bolling asked on Saturday for the public to “please respect [the family’s] grieving period.”

In earlier tweet, he requested thoughts and prayers and said he and his wife were “devastated.”

Bolling again took to Twitter on Sunday to thank people for their support during this dark time.

We are overwhelmed by the love and support we have received. Adrienne and I thank you all and ask that you please keep us in your prayers.
