The well-known Pawn Stars member Rick Harrison has spoken up about the terrible death of his son Adam, 39, who overdosed on fentanyl and died.
“Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose,” Rick said in an open interview with Fox News Digital, voicing his alarm about the escalating fentanyl problem. Rick also confirmed the unfortunate cause of death. We need to give this nation’s fentanyl problem more serious attention.
Following TMZ’s initial revelation of the tragic news, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department launched an investigation to compile more information. Laura Herlovich, the Harrison family’s spokeswoman, expressed the family’s sorrow by saying, “We are deeply grieved by Adam’s passing. We beg for discretion while we process his passing.
Although Adam, Rick’s second child from his first marriage to Kim Harrison, was not on Pawn Stars, he had previously worked at the Gold & Silver Pawn store owned by the Harrison family before the show’s 2009 premiere. In a heartfelt tribute to his kid, Rick shared a picture of the two of them grinning at a pub on Instagram with the message, “You will always be in my heart! Adam, I adore you.
Concern over fentanyl-related overdose deaths has grown in the United States; CDC data indicates a 56.6% increase in these occurrences between January 2020 and January 2021. We are sending the Harrison family our sincere condolences during this difficult time.
