Mr Perea criticized Fox News on his Twitter page and posted this photo (pictured) on Friday


Mr Perea had what appeared to be a suicide note in his pocket.


Mr Perea criticized Fox News on his Twitter page writing statements such as 'will be homeless thanks to FOX lies. Is this the America you want?'
He also wrote other statements including 'tomorrow the battle for liberty begins' as well as tweeting media figures asking them 'Will you take FOX executives into the no spin zone?'

Mr Perea posted dozens of videos on YouTube in which he states why he believes he was fired from Fox News last year.
The lengthy clips, uploaded to YouTube between July of last year and Monday morning, have recordings of alleged conversations between Perea and coworkers.
The most recent video starts with the chilling intro 'you can murder a man without killing him' before segueing into another screen where he claims 'righteous cause demands a martyr.'

The building on Sixth avenue houses News Corp arms such as Fox News, Dow Jones & Company and The Wall Street Journal.
