P4. Rick Harrison breaks silence after son’s sudden death at 39 – confirms the tragic truth

Following the sudden and tragic passing of Rick Harrison’s son, Adam, the Pawn Shop’s star breaks silence posting a heartfelt tribute to Instagram.

Adam, 39, died of overdose in Las Vegas on Friday, leaving his family utterly devastated and shocked.

“You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔,” Rick wrote alongside a photo of himself smiling with Adam at a bar.

Previously, a representative of the family, Laura Herlovich, confirmed Adam’s death to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

“Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss,” the statement read.

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Rick revealed the exact cause of Adam’s death, saying that fentanyl was to blame.

“Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose,” the reality-show star said. “The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously. It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”

Fans, as well as some of Rick’s celebrity friends, were quick to share messages of condolence.

“I’m so sorry man,” wrote Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr.

Adam’s brother, Corey Harrison, also paid his tribute to his late sibling on Instagram, sharing an old baby photo of the two of them in a bath.

“Wax wtf I will always love you bubba,” he captioned the image.

Adam was Rick Harrison’s second child from his first marriage to Kim Harrison. Rick later went on to marry his second wife with whom he has son Jake.

While we saw Rick and Corey running the Gold & Silver Pawn and appearing on the show, Adam was not as involved, although it has been reported that he did work with his father.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports overdose deaths, including synthetic opioids, raising 56.6% from January 2020 to 2021.

The Drug Enforcement Agency lists fentanyl as a Schedule II controlled substance “that is similar to morphine but about 100 times more potent.” Depending on a person’s body, even two milligrams, which is less than a grain of salt, can be lethal.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the Harrison family.

Rest in peace, Adam.

Following the sudden and tragic passing of Rick Harrison’s son, Adam, the Pawn Stars star broke his silence by posting a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.

Adam, just 39 years old, died of an overdose in Las Vegas on Friday, leaving his family devastated and in shock.

“You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔,” Rick wrote, alongside a touching photo of the two of them smiling together at a bar.

A family representative, Laura Herlovich, had previously confirmed Adam’s death to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss,” the statement read.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Rick opened up about the exact cause of Adam’s death, attributing it to the powerful synthetic opioid, fentanyl.

“Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose,” Rick said solemnly. “The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously. It seems to be flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”

As word spread, fans, friends, and fellow celebrities flooded social media with messages of condolence and support.

“I’m so sorry, man,” wrote Donald Trump Jr., a longtime friend of the Harrison family.

Adam’s brother, Corey Harrison, also shared his grief, posting an old photo of the two as children in a bathtub. "Wax wtf I will always love you bubba," he captioned the image, revealing the deep pain of losing his sibling.

Adam was Rick’s second child from his first marriage to Kim Harrison, and while he didn’t have as prominent a role on Pawn Stars as Rick or Corey, he reportedly worked with his father behind the scenes at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.

The fentanyl crisis, which has claimed thousands of lives in recent years, continues to devastate families across the country. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, surged by 56.6% from January 2020 to 2021. The Drug Enforcement Agency lists fentanyl as a Schedule II controlled substance, noting that it’s 100 times more potent than morphine and can be lethal in amounts as small as two milligrams—less than a grain of salt.

The loss of Adam Harrison shines a tragic spotlight on the ongoing opioid epidemic, which has touched even the most well-known families. The Harrison family now faces a heartbreaking journey of grief, but through their tributes and public statements, they are also raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Harrison family during this incredibly difficult time. Rest in peace, Adam.
