Rick Harrison Speaks Out on Son’s Tragic Death

Rick Harrison, the well-known face of the hit show Pawn Stars, has shared his thoughts following the sudden death of his 39-year-old son, Adam. The heartbreaking news revealed that Adam passed away due to a suspected drug overdose, with fentanyl being the cause of his untimely demise.

Rick Harrison expressed his grief and concern about the fentanyl crisis in the country. In an interview with Fox News Digital, he stated, “Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose. 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.”

The tragic news of Adam’s death was initially reported by TMZ, but the circumstances surrounding the overdose are still unknown. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department has initiated an investigation to uncover more information.

A statement from the Harrison family spokesperson, Laura Herlovich, was released on behalf of Adam’s loved ones: “Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss.”

Adam was Rick Harrison’s second child from his first marriage to Kim Harrison, making him the younger brother of Corey Harrison. Rick later married his second wife Tracy, with whom he shares a son named Jake.

Although Adam did not appear on the popular series Pawn Stars, he reportedly worked at the family’s business, Gold & Silver Pawn, before the show premiered in 2009. However, he had not been actively involved in the pawn shop in recent times.

Rick Harrison turned to social media to share a heartfelt tribute to his son. He posted a photo on Instagram of himself and Adam, both smiling at a bar, with the caption, “You will always be in my heart! I love you, Adam. 💔”

The rising number of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, is a cause for concern. According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these deaths rose by 56.6% from January 2020 to 2021. Fentanyl, classified by the Drug Enforcement Agency as a Schedule II controlled substance, is incredibly potent. Just two milligrams, which is less than a grain of salt, can be lethal depending on a person’s body size.

We extend our condolences to Rick Harrison and his family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they navigate this tragic loss.

Because I hadn’t signed anything. Not that loan. Not that co-signature. Not a single document authorizing Richard to use my name as if my identity were a pen forgotten on the kitchen table.

I read Mariela’s message three times, sitting on the edge of the bed in my hotel suite, with my hospital gown folded over a chair and my pre-op test results spread across the table. “You’re about to find out exactly what you signed.” That didn’t sound like a desperate sister. It sounded like someone who ... Read more

My husband drugged me every night “so I could study better,” but one night I faked swallowing the pill and stayed motionless. He thought I was asleep. At 2:47 AM, he came in with gloves, a camera, and a black notebook. He didn’t touch me with love. He lifted my eyelid and whispered: “The memory still hasn’t returned.”

Marcus froze in front of the screen. For the first time since I’d known him, he didn’t look like a doctor, or a husband, or a man in control of everything.

My mother slapped my son over a toy, and the whole family pretended not to see the blood. I didn’t say anything; I carried him to the hospital… and when I returned with the report in my hand, even the favorite grandson stopped smiling.

On my very first day at my new job, I saw a photo of my husband sitting on my coworker’s desk. I forced a smile, pointed at it, and calmly asked, “Who’s that?” She lit up and said, “That’s the man I’m going to marry.” For a moment, I forgot where I was. The office ... Read more

At 1:17 in the morning, my phone lit up. I had just gotten out of the shower. My hair was still wet, the ends dripping onto the old t-shirt I wore to sleep. A red notification dot appeared on Instagram. It was a post from Adrian Shaw. My boyfriend. Or so I thought until that ... Read more
