Rick Harrison, the well-known face of the Pawn Stars, has expressed his sadness at the untimely death of his 39-year-old son Adam, who appears to have overdosed on fentanyl. “Yes, I can confirm that Adam died from a fentanyl overdose.” “We should be treating the fentanyl crisis in this nation with more seriousness,” Rick stated during an interview with Fox News Digital.
The Las Vegas Metro Police Department opened an investigation to obtain more information when TMZ first broke the heartbreaking news. A spokesman for the Harrison family, Laura Herlovich, said in a statement that the family is very saddened by Adam’s passing. We ask for patience while we grieve his loss.
While Adam, the second child of Rick’s first marriage to Kim Harrison, did not appear on Pawn Stars, he had previously worked at the family business, Gold & Silver Pawn, before the show’s 2009 premiere.
Rick posted a heartfelt tribute to Adam on Instagram, captioning a photo of the two of them smiling at a bar, “You will always be in my heart! Adam, you have my undying love.
According to the CDC’s data, there was an alarming 56.6% rise in overdose deaths linked to fentanyl between January 2020 and January 2021. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Harrison family during this difficult time.
