Brooke Hanlon's husband placed a frantic 911 call after finding his wife unconscious and not breathing on the floor of their Chester, New Jersey, home in early June.

Conor Hanlon, the husband of 35-year-old Brooke Hanlon, called 911 after finding her unconscious and bloodied on the floor of their home on June 6. He asked the operator for guidance on performing CPR. Investigators found Brooke Hanlon dead with "multiple sharp force injuries," according to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office.

"I just found my wife (inaudible) CPR, I need CPR instructions," Hanlon can be heard saying on the 911 call.

Fox News Digital spotted Conor Hanlon in Brighton, Massachusetts, as the couple's baby is staying with family.

When the 911 operator asked if she was bleeding and not conscious, Conor Hanlon can be heard screaming, "No!"

"Oh, oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god," Hanlon can be heard saying while hyperventilating.

Conor Hanlon has obtained a lawyer and has been communicating with investigators, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office previously said.

Fox News Digital previously obtained a Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) log of a 911 call made at the home on June 6, which was initially reported as a "Cardiac or Respiratory Arrest."

The 911 call was placed at 4:29 p.m., and at 4:42 p.m., a dispatcher entered a "suspicious death" note on the file.

One of the Hanlons' neighbors told Fox News Digital, "There was a lot of activity out there on the 6th. I'd talked to Conor a few times before. We mostly texted. We've lived here about a year, and he'd text me whenever bears were around."

Court records show Conor Hanlon has no prior arrests or criminal history. He hasn't been accused of any crime nor wrongdoing.

Troy Jackson, a possible replacement for Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after he dropped out of the race on Wednesday, was pressed during an MS NOW interview on Thursday about an independent Maine voter saying he would vote for Republican Sen. Susan Collins over him.

MS NOW host Katy Tur confronted Jackson with video of an independent Maine voter telling a reporter, "Troy Jackson is not progressive. He voted against so many bad things, like gay marriage, abortion. He did that and now wants to say he's progressive." 

"If they put up Troy Jackson, if they put up Shenna Bellows, I'm voting for Susan Collins," the voter, Brent Hawkes, said. "And I hate to say that as an independent, but Troy Jackson and Shenna Bellows aren't going to be able to do anything in the federal government."

JOY REID GIVES MAINE DEMOCRATS 'PERMISSION TO NOT VOTE' IF PARTY REPLACES GRAHAM PLATNER WITH A MODERATE

Tur noted the voter was an independent but was espousing progressive viewpoints and asked Jackson to respond to him.

"Honestly, he is accurate," Jackson admitted. "I voted against those things over 15 years ago. Since then, you know, I've found out, I've understood. I mean, I've always been someone that believes that healthcare is a human right, and it became clear to me after some time that abortion, reproductive rights access is a human right," he said.

Jackson touted a 100% voting record with Planned Parenthood.

"I've co-sponsored some of the most progressive abortion access in the entire country and fought vehemently for it," he said. "
"And you know, I make no bones about a bad vote years ago coming out of a rural area, a very Catholic area. But, I mean, people are going to have all kinds of thoughts about these things, but I mean, I have a 20-year record of votes like that, but a whole bunch of votes that, you know, people like in the DSA think that I'm very progressive."

Jackson filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to potentially replace Platner as the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. Prior to the recent allegations against Platner, Jackson was one of his earliest supporters and previously campaigned with Platner during his gubernatorial campaign. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has also been floated as a replacement.

During the same interview, Tur questioned Jackson over his support for Platner throughout his campaign, which has been riddled with controversy related to a Nazi tattoo, incendiary Reddit posts and, most recently, sexual abuse allegations, which the ex-Senate candidate denies.

"You supported him," Tur began. "You bragged about being one of the first supporters of him. Why did you stick with him for so long? Why did you stick with him after the Nazi tattoo? Why did you stick with him after The New York Times article and the aggressive women stuff, stick with him after the Reddit posts that were arguably racist and sexist? I know he denies the sexual misconduct allegations, but why did you stay with him for so long?"

"Well, the Nazi tattoo and the Reddit posts, I mean, I didn’t know — I mean, I haven’t ever been on Reddit, but, you know, when people talked about those things, and he turned around and said, you know, that these were times, whenever, they were dark for him and, you know, he’d grown and all this stuff," Jackson said.

Jackson added, "They were, you know, a different time period for him. And I understood, you know, that people can change."

A simple lifestyle adjustment could potentially slow down the body's biological aging process, according to new research.

The study, published in the journal Aging, investigated how a diet change and easy exercise regimen affected men between the ages of 50 and 74 over a three-month period.

Researchers designed a clinical trial involving 48 overweight men in Japan. Over a 12-week period, half of the participants followed a strictly structured wellness routine, while the other half maintained their usual habits.

DOCTORS SAY 8 FORGOTTEN HABITS COULD HELP FIGHT STRESS, OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASE

For the intervention group, the routine required consuming 100 grams of plain yogurt every day.

This group also received individualized dietary counseling that advised them to curb overeating, avoid excessive snacking and cut out sugary drinks.

They were also instructed to walk or use a stepper machine for roughly 30 minutes a day, at least three days each week.

To measure the impact of these changes, the scientists collected blood samples from all participants before and after the study, and also analyzed DNA for chemical changes that act as indicators of cellular age.

Specifically, they used a measurement tool called DunedinPACE. Rather than assessing a person's chronological age in years, this tool calculates the precise rate at which an individual’s body is currently aging.

The men who consumed the probiotic yogurt, adjusted their diets and exercised showed a statistically significant reduction in their pace of aging compared to the control group, the researchers said.

On average, the speed of their biological aging slowed by approximately 2.2%. This reduction is roughly comparable to the slowing of biological aging observed in a previous two-year U.S. study, in which participants reduced their daily calorie intake by 25%.

This reduction in aging speed happened independently of weight loss , meaning it did not directly correlate with changes in the participants' body mass index or the exact number of exercise sessions they logged.

The researchers also recorded a noticeable improvement in a specific DNA marker that is linked to kidney function.

Because this study combined three distinct factors — probiotics, diet and exercise — the authors concluded that the anti-aging benefits cannot be attributed to any single component. Instead, the slowed aging rate appears to be the result of a combined effect.

The researchers also acknowledged clear limitations of the study, including its small sample size and short duration. Also, the participant pool was restricted to overweight men of a single nationality.

More research is needed to determine whether these short-term biological shifts can translate into permanent, long-term health benefits, the study stated.

For a network that claims to want to grow conversation around the WNBA, no company struggles discussing the league's biggest star more than ESPN.

Over the past week alone, various ESPN commentators have told viewers that Caitlin Clark was not actually punched in the throat (despite clear video evidence), that she has a responsibility to stand up for Black women in the league, that her embellishment is why Alyssa Thomas' fist ended up on her throat, and that she is not even one of the top guards in the WNBA.

David Dennis Jr., whom ESPN recently re-signed and promoted, was responsible for some of those remarks on Thursday.

"I don't think that you can make a compelling argument that Caitlin Clark is a top-four guard in the WNBA," Dennis said, brushing aside the statistical case that proves otherwise.

He also argued that it is unfair to claim opposing players are targeting Clark or committing hard fouls out of "petty jealousy." Instead, he said Clark is simply receiving "superstar treatment."

Dennis has built a reputation for filtering cultural issues through the lens of race. Last year, he wrote that the idea of praising Sydney Sweeney for her appearance "mortified" him. Perhaps he was once rejected by a white woman, and the moment still haunts him to this day.

CHINEY OGWUMIKE CLAIMING THAT A'JA WILSON IS 'GREATER' THAN TOM BRADY EXPOSES ESPN'S WNBA CREDIBILITY PROBLEM

Still, the coverage of Clark is not much better elsewhere on ESPN. The network continues to rely on Chiney Ogwumike and Monica McNutt as two of its leading WNBA analysts, despite their obvious disdain toward Clark.

Last week, Ogwumike argued that Alyssa Thomas punching Clark in the neck was not a significant issue because it required a "freeze frame" to see the contact, whatever that means. McNutt, meanwhile, accused young white girls of favoring Clark on racial grounds.

"Caitlin represented, and again, some of this to me probably is not fair to her, because it was not anything that she said or was truly based on her personality, but she was a white girl from the middle of America. And so she represented a whole lot to a lot of people, whether that is truly what she ascribed to or not," McNutt said.

Former NFL player Harry Douglas has also become part of the conversation. This week, he attempted to praise Paige Bueckers but did so only by trying to diminish Clark.

"Everything we expected Caitlin Clark to be, Paige Bueckers has been in the WNBA," Douglas said.

The numbers tell a different story. Clark just won Player of the Month after averaging 20 points, eight assists, and four rebounds per game. Not bad for a guard whom ESPN insists is nowhere near the top four.

ESPN MUST HOLD STEPHEN A. SMITH ACCOUNTABLE AFTER DOUBLING DOWN ON RACIST REMARKS ABOUT WHITE BASKETBALL PLAYERS

At this point, you have to wonder whether a single ESPN employee is willing to defend Clark or even challenge the factually challenged claims that regularly make it onto the network's airwaves.

Much of the responsibility falls on ESPN management. When executives consistently elevate commentators with one specific ideology, it should not surprise anyone that they arrive at the same illogical, racially-charged conclusions about Clark.

From day one, the narrative around Clark is that she is a superstar only because America has starved for a straight white girl to save them from a league of largely black LGBTQ women. That narrative is not supported by the history of superstardom in American sports. Yet it has shaped ESPN's coverage from the start.

The result is a network that presents a distorted picture of the most influential player in the history of women's basketball. It's bad for the sports. It's bad for ESPN's brand.

The pressure shifts to ESPN executives Jimmy Pitaro, Burke Magnus, and Mike Foss. Those three executives are doing fans a disservice by allowing racial idolaters to turn ESPN's coverage of Clark into a resemblance of how cable news covers the leader of the opposition party.

Imagine if nearly every prominent NFL voice at ESPN approached Patrick Mahomes with the underlying goal of minimizing his accomplishments. That is the culture ESPN has enabled when it comes to discussing Caitlin Clark.

OutKick credited ESPN several months ago for rebuilding its brand by shifting away from identity politics. The ratings suggest viewers have noticed. However, the network's coverage of Clark remains a glaring exception. In the process, ESPN is undermining the growth of one of its most valuable media properties.

ESPN ought to add some diversity to its WNBA commentary -- diversity of opinion, that is.

FIRST ON FOX: Democrat candidate Sarah Trone Garriott, a minister and state legislator running for one of the most competitive House seats in the nation, contributed to a "resistance preaching" guide that encouraged faith leaders to combat President Donald Trump and his supporters from the pulpit.

Trone Garriott authored a chapter in a 2018 collection, "Preaching as Resistance: Voices of Hope, Justice, and Solidarity," in the aftermath of Trump’s 2016 presidential election victory, a result the book described as bringing the country "so closely to fascism."

"Many pastors find themselves drawn toward acts of resistance," Phil Snider, a self-described "White male cishet pastor," wrote in the book's introduction, responding to Trump's presidency.

He argued that "pastors of the resistance" were working against a Trump-led coalition rooted in "White supremacy," "exploitation," "greed," and "heteropatriarchy."

JOHN FETTERMAN DEFENDS TRUMP SUPPORTERS, CONDEMNS FELLOW DEMOCRATS' 'F--- TRUMP' STRATEGY

Trone Garriott, who was ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America in 2008, was among that cohort as an author of the collection.

Her contribution, "The Gospel of Resistance," was described as the first sermon she delivered after the 2016 election and has not been previously reported.

Trone Garriott’s involvement comes as she faces mounting scrutiny from Republicans over her previous remarks on religion and cultural issues. The GOP views the Iowa House battleground held by Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, which incorporates the state capital of Des Moines, as critical to preserving its slim majority.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the contest as a "toss-up." Trump carried the swing district by over four points in 2024, but a recent Fox News Poll showed his favorability is now underwater in the Hawkeye State.

Trone Garriott publicly discussed helping marry a Satanist couple as a minister-in-training during a love-themed storytelling event in 2023, Fox News Digital previously reported. She also defended a Wiccan-led prayer in the state legislature and tied public displays of Christianity to political violence in a 2023 sermon.

During that talk, she criticized private schools and parental rights in education while highlighting her efforts to seek out prayers in the state legislature that were not from the "White American Christian variety."

The Republican National Committee (RNC) sharply criticized Trone Garriott's participation in the "resistance" preaching collection.

"The Wicked Witch of Woke strikes again and admits what we all knew. She views the pulpit as a political weapon to advance her radical agenda," RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "There isn't a far-left cause Sarah Trone Garriott hasn't claimed to have found in the Bible and attempted to force on Iowans."

Trone Garriott did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment about why she chose to contribute to the collection or whether she agreed with the book's introduction, which described Trump and his tens of millions of voters as rooted in racism.

IOWA DEM ADMITS BEING ‘UNCOMFORTABLE’ WITH WHITENESS AS SHE SEEKS TO FLIP COMPETITIVE HOUSE SEAT

The sermon collection, described as "provocative" by its publisher, includes 30 sermons under titles that include "Transgressing the Gender Binary," "Encountering Pharaoh — and Climate Change" and "Wake Up and Stay Woke!"

Beyond criticism of Trump, pastors also condemned immigration enforcement, deportation policies, transphobia and what one author calls "the worship of military-grade weaponry among the populace."

In "When to Break the Law," a minister urges sanctuary cities to defy the federal government and harbor illegal aliens to avoid deportation. In "Take a Knee," the author rails against the "militarized border." In "Overcome Evil with Good," police departments are associated with White supremacy. In "Beloved Resistance," the president is described as an "unrepentant sexual predator."

Trone Garriott's own sermon closes the collection. While less overtly political than some of the others, it was identified as the first sermon she delivered after Trump's election.

In the sermon, Trone Garriott appears to encourage listeners who were upset by recent events without explicitly mentioning Trump's election win. She discusses periods when Christians felt detachment throughout history and turned to Matthew 24:36–44, a passage about Christ's return in which he tells believers to remain ready.

"For those who are honestly praying for the kingdoms of this world to be destroyed and Christ’s kingdom to come … for those who are yearning to go with Christ wherever that may lead … for those hoping for new life … this is the good news," she wrote.

A disturbing new report from The Philadelphia Inquirer reveals that FanDuel used a personalized video from Phillies slugger Bryce Harper to target an online gambling addict.

Sent directly to customer Terry Thompson by his FanDuel VIP manager, "Bryttanni," the video features Harper wishing the gambler a happy Thanksgiving, greeting his young son, and thanking him for his years of support.

Thompson wasn't just an ordinary fan; he was a problem gambler who wagered a staggering $18.5 million on FanDuel and lost $1.5 million. Instead of cutting him off, FanDuel gave Thompson VIP treatment, showering him with champagne and Super Bowl tickets while weaponizing Harper, a two-time NL MVP.

MLB PLAYERS UNION IS MAKING OUTRAGEOUS SPORTS BETTING PROPOSALS IN THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING NEGOTIATIONS

This gross revelation brings us right back to the Major League Baseball Players Association's recent, ridiculous collective bargaining proposals. Last month, I noted the union's hypocrisy in demanding a bigger share of sportsbook revenue while trying to shield itself from the realities of the gambling market.

During those CBA negotiations, the union eagerly sought clarity on how players can secure lucrative endorsement deals with sportsbooks. Now we see exactly what those corporate partnerships look like in practice: using the sport's most recognizable players as high-end retention tools to squeeze millions out of desperate people.

The MLBPA has also complained about players facing harassment from angry bettors, even pushing to ban player props. Yet they remain completely silent when their multi-billion-dollar sportsbook partners aggressively target and manipulate actual addicts, using a superstar to drag a vulnerable father deeper into a gambling hole.

MLB OWNERS ALREADY PUSHING BACK ON PLAYERS' FIRST CBA PROPOSAL AS WORK STOPPAGE LOOMS AFTER 2026 SEASON

Then there is the absolute joke of baseball's "integrity". The union is allegedly pushing for a soft 15-day minor-league "rehab assignment" for players caught illegally betting on baseball. It turns out the union wants coddling for its rule-breakers while the league’s official betting partners actively exploit everyday fans in the background.

Harper's video exposes the hypocrisy of these sportsbook partnerships with leagues and players. All-Stars are being used in predatory marketing schemes, proving that the union is far too busy chasing betting dollars to actually protect the reputation of its players or the well-being of the fans.

MLB and the union love to plaster "responsible gaming" logos on every broadcast to pretend they care about the human cost. But this video shows the entire ecosystem is a fraudulent, greedy mess. It is time for baseball to decide what matters more: the money or the fans.

FIRST ON FOX: A coalition of state financial officers said it uncovered roughly $225 million in alleged fraud across America’s schools over the past six years, identifying nearly 90 cases involving embezzlement, fake invoices, inflated enrollment, bid-rigging and kickbacks.

In a new report obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital, the State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF) and Open the Books analyzed every Education Department Office of Inspector General (OIG) Semiannual Report to Congress issued between Oct. 1, 2019, and March 31, 2026, revealing alleged fraud across 24 states and Puerto Rico.

"All fraud is harmful, but defrauding education dollars meant to help kids learn and succeed is especially hideous," SFOF CEO OJ Oleka said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"The findings in this report should alarm every family, teacher, and civic leader, especially since they only scratch the surface of the problem. The state financial officers courageously tracking every school dollar abused historically have had a bloated federal education bureaucracy only make their job harder."

THE WAR ON FRAUD IS HERE, AND VICE PRESIDENT VANCE IS LEADING IT FROM THE FRONT

The findings come as the Trump administration prioritizes cracking down on government fraud, with Vice President JD Vance leading a nationwide "War on Fraud," raising fresh questions about oversight of federal education spending. About $67 million was ordered to be repaid through court rulings or settlements, though it's unclear how much has actually been recovered.

Oleka said the report is a reminder that state oversight has "never mattered more."

Only three of the nation's 20 largest federally funded school districts appeared in OIG records, according to the report. The remaining 17 were absent, while federal investigations targeted dozens of smaller districts, charter schools, online schools and education programs, highlighting potential gaps in federal oversight.

"With that in mind, stronger oversight of federal education dollars is more than some bureaucratic exercise — it is an economic and moral imperative," the report said. "Families deserve assurance that the public institutions meant to serve their children are not being looted by the very officials entrusted to lead them."

Open the Books CEO John Hart said the alleged fraud "hits us where it hurts most," because it shortchanges "America's future leaders," adding that in one case, the per-student fraud loss was enough to fund a semester at a charter school.

"These schemes within public schools arguably hit us where it hurts most: America’s future leaders," Hart said. "Every dollar wasted on fraud never makes it to the classroom where it’s urgently needed. Student outcomes will continue to suffer until we clean up both fraud and administrative overhead."

The report's largest cases included allegations that two now-closed Indiana online charter schools received $44 million in excess funding by inflating enrollment and that a Puerto Rico tutoring company obtained $24 million by billing for services never provided. In Florida, a Broward County Public Schools information officer allegedly steered $17 million in contracts to a friend's business, bypassing competitive bidding while personally profiting from the deals.

RED-STATE AUDITOR REPORTS 'EXPLOSION' OF FRAUD TIPS AS HE TARGETS STATE EMPLOYEES 'RACKING UP' TAXPAYER WASTE

In Texas, former Houston Independent School District Chief Operating Officer Brian Busby and contractor Anthony Hutchison allegedly orchestrated a fraud scheme of more than $6 million, involving school construction and grounds maintenance contracts in exchange for cash bribes and hundreds of thousands of dollars in home renovations.

A federal jury found Busby and Hutchison guilty of conspiracy, bribery, filing false tax returns, and witness tampering, with Hutchison also convicted on seven wire fraud counts, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas.

"Bureaucratic bloat, insider dealing, and poor oversight prompted Governor Abbott and the Texas Education Agency to intervene in HISD and appoint new leadership," HISD Superintendent Mike Miles told Fox News Digital. "School funding was being squandered, the quality of schools had deteriorated, and the majority of students' education was being neglected. That is no longer the case. Since June 2023, we have made it a priority to eliminate waste and most importantly, now every decision we make is focused on closing student achievement gaps, preparing students for the future, and supporting teachers."

The report makes the case the alleged fraud carried a direct cost for students in smaller school districts and that the true cost is likely even higher because not all fraud is detected, investigated or prosecuted.

California accounted for two of the report's most costly cases.

Students at the now-closed Community Preparatory Academy charter school lost about $9,090 per student after the school's head used $3 million in taxpayer funds for personal travel, restaurants, online shopping and private school tuition for her children, according to the report. In Magnolia School District, students lost about $3,553 per student after a former fiscal services director allegedly embezzled nearly $16.7 million to buy a luxury home, car and designer goods.

LOS ANGELES SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT ALBERTO CARVALHO RESIGNS AMID FBI PROBE

Additionally, students in West Virginia's Boone County Schools lost about $1,096 per student after a former maintenance director stole $3.4 million through fraudulent invoices for janitorial and custodial supplies that were never delivered, using the proceeds to buy vehicles, equipment and make improvements to his home.

The report also cited Chicago Public Schools, which agreed to return about $1 million in federal grant funding after an OIG review found the district could not adequately verify student eligibility for an Indian Education grant program.

Fox News Digital reached out to Broward County Public Schools, Chicago Public Schools, Magnolia School District and Boone County Schools for comment.

Alleigh Marré, executive director of the American Parents Coalition, said the report "highlights parents' worst fears."

"This is why parents need to have a seat at the table to ensure their children are receiving the best education possible and schools are not wasting taxpayer dollars on noneducation-based materials," Marré said.

The report concluded that "every step must be taken to unwind the enormous bureaucracy and spending" by returning education to the state and local level.

"Not only is that in keeping with the founders’ vision for a limited Executive Branch, but state and local officials are much better equipped to understand the needs of their communities, find efficiencies, innovate for better student outcomes and keep foxes out of the proverbial henhouse," the report said.

Department Spokesperson Ellen Keast told Fox News Digital that "rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse across the government is a priority for the Trump-Vance Administration."

"Secretary McMahon is proud to serve on the Vice President’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud and remains committed to delivering lasting results for American students and taxpayers – including nearly $2 billion in taxpayer savings to date.," Keast said. "Misuse of taxpayer funds became widespread under the previous Administration, which is why addressing it is a top priority."
