'Pawn Stars' Rick Harrison's Son Died From Fentanyl Overdose

More light has been shed on the cause of the death of Rick Harrison's son, Adam. The son of the frontman of "Pawn Stars" tragically died over the weekend.

Adam passed away while in Las Vegas and a representative of the family confirmed the late 39-year-old died from Fentanyl overdose.

A publicist for the family confirmed the update about Adam's passing via a statement that read, "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."

Fentanyl has been a leading cause of death among several Hollywood stars like Angus Cloud, Mac Miller, and more. Last August, Robert De Niro lost his grandson to a lethal combo of Fentanyl & Xanax.

We broke the news that the family confirmed the devasting news of Adam's death. "Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss." Harrison later broke his silence on his son's passing with a touching social media tribute.

Alongside an emotional photo of the Harrison family patriarch with his beloved son, Rick wrote, "You will always be in my heart! I love you, Adam. 💔." The post was flooded with condolence messages from many, including Donald Trump Jr, who wrote, "I’m so sorry, man."

Late Adam was not very involved with his father's reality show or store and led a more private life. Harrison shared his Adam and his elder brother, Corey, with his former wife, Kim. He welcomed his other son, Jake, with his second wife, Tracy.

Before his death, Adam was allegedly employed at Gold & Silver Pawn prior to the 2009 launch of the show.  "Pawn Stars" follows the Harrison employees at their Vegas Gold & Silver Pawn Shop as they authenticate items brought into their store and make offers to their sellers.

The show has been running since 2009, with its 22nd season wrapping up in June 2023 as fans await announcements about season 23.

Following the news of Adam's passing, heartbroken fans and friends of the family have taken to social media to mourn the 39-year-old. Actor Christopher Clawson wrote, "Condolences Rick. The fentanyl situation is out of control in this country and nobody seems to be doing anything meaningful about it. Use your platform to help change that."

A devastated fan penned, "No, no, I can't believe it; they just broke the news here in Chile. I'm very sorry. God give peace to your hearts, a big hug for you, and your family," while another wrote, "I am so incredibly sorry. God bless you and your family. I know you don't know anyone here in these comments and it doesn't really matter, but there's an entire legion of people that have been impacted by your family and those close to you, Adam included. I hope you guys can find solace in this time."
