ox News has reached a settlement with the family of murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich after the outlet published an article suggesting their son was killed in retaliation for leaking emails to WikiLeaks in the run-up to the 2016 election.
Both sides confirmed the settlement on Tuesday.
Rich was shot and killed in 2016 in Washington DC in what authorities described as a botched robbery attempt.
His parents, Joel and Mary Rich, alleged in a lawsuit that the cable news company exploited their son's death in stories and commentary.
They had objected to a Fox article and commentary falsely suggesting their son had leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks during the presidential campaign.
Internet theories that Rich had been assassinated for leaking emails were contradicted by US intelligence reports.
A lower court had thrown out the lawsuit, but the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan last year reinstated it.
The court said the family had plausibly alleged what amounted to a campaign of emotional torture.
Rich's parents, in a statement, said the settlement closed another chapter in their efforts to mourn their son, who was 27 when he was killed.
'We are pleased with the settlement of this matter and sincerely hope that the media will take genuine caution in the future,' the Riches, of Omaha, Nebraska, said.
Neither side disclosed financial terms of the deal.
'We are pleased with the resolution of the claims and hope this enables Mr. and Mrs. Rich to find a small degree of peace and solace moving forward,' Fox said in a statement.
