Rick Harrison Talks About His Son’s Heartbreaking Death
The popular face of the successful television program Pawn Stars, Rick Harrison, has opened out about his feelings following the unexpected loss of his 39-year-old son, Adam. The devastating word came that Adam was dead, maybe from a drug overdose, and that fentanyl was the reason of his sudden death.
Rick Harrison conveyed his sorrow and worries about the nation’s fentanyl problem. “Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose,” he said in an interview with Fox News Digital. We need to give this nation’s fentanyl problem more serious attention. It appears that nothing is being done to stop it from just flowing across the boundaries. We have to perform better.
Although TMZ broke the heartbreaking news of Adam’s passing at first, the specifics of the overdose remain unclear. In an effort to learn more, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department has launched an inquiry.
On behalf of Adam’s family, Laura Herlovich, the Harrison family spokesperson, issued a statement. “Our family is extremely saddened by Adam’s death,” it said. We beg for discretion while we process his passing.
Adam was Corey Harrison’s younger brother because he was the second child of Rick Harrison from his first marriage to Kim Harrison. Later on, Rick wed Tracy for the second time; the two of them have a son named Jake.
Adam supposedly worked at the family’s company, Gold & Silver Pawn, prior to the 2009 premiere of the popular television program Pawn Stars, despite the fact that he did not appear on the show. But in recent years, he had not been as involved in the pawn store.
Rick Harrison paid a moving homage to his son on social media. He shared a picture of Adam and himself grinning at a bar on Instagram. He commented, “You will always be in my heart!” next to the picture. Adam, you are loved. 💔
Concern should be expressed about the growing number of overdose deaths employing synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that between January 2020 and January 2021, there was a 56.6% increase in these deaths. The Drug Enforcement Agency lists fentanyl as a Schedule II banned substance, despite its extreme potency. Depending on the size of the individual, as little as two milligrams—less than a grain of salt—can be fatal.
We are sending our deepest sympathies to Rick Harrison and the Harrison family during this trying time. We are praying and thinking for them during this difficult time of terrible loss.
