According to a report, Harrison's son, Adam, passed away on Friday while in Las Vegas. A rep for the TV personality revealed that the 39-year-old died of an overdose. At the moment, it's unclear what substance Adam overdosed on.

Adam is one of Harrison's three sons. Unlike his brothers, he was not hugely associated with his father's show. Harrison shared his late son and his elder brother, Corey, with his former wife, Kim. The TV personality had his other son, Jake, with his second wife, Tracy.

For fifteen years, "Pawn Stars" has followed the Harrison employees at their Vegas Gold & Silver Pawn Shop as they authenticate items brought into their store and make offers to their sellers.

Adam was allegedly employed at Gold & Silver Pawn before the 2009 launch of the show. But he hasn't been employed there lately.
