Rick Harrison, the well-known face of the television show Pawn Stars, has revealed his emotions following the unexpected loss of his 39-year-old son, Adam. The devastating news revealed that Adam died as a result of a suspected drug overdose, with fentanyl being the culprit.
Rick Harrison voiced pain and concern over the country’s fentanyl issue. In an interview with Fox News Digital, he said, “Yes, I can confirm Adam died of a fentanyl overdose.” The fentanyl epidemic in our nation must be addressed more severely. It appears that it is just flowing across borders, with no action taken to prevent it. “We must do better.”
The heartbreaking news of Adam’s death was first reported by TMZ, but specifics of the overdose remain unclear. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department has launched an investigation to get further information.
Laura Herlovich, the Harrison family spokesperson, stated on behalf of Adam’s family. It read: “Our family is deeply heartbroken by Adam’s loss. We beg for privacy as we mourn his passing.”
Adam was Rick Harrison’s second kid from his first marriage to Kim Harrison, and he is the younger brother of Corey Harrison. Rick later married Tracy, and the two had a son called Jake.
Adam did not participate in the famous show Pawn Stars, although he worked at the family’s business, Gold & Silver Pawn, before the show debuted in 2009. However, he had just stopped being actively involved in the pawn store.
Rick Harrison took to social media to pay poignant homage to his son. He shared a snapshot on Instagram of himself and Adam smiling at a pub. He captioned the shot, “You will always be in my heart!” “I love you, Adam. .”
The increased frequency of overdose deaths utilizing synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, is reason for alarm. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these fatalities increased by 56.6% between January 2020 and 2021. Fentanyl, a Schedule II-banned drug, is very strong. Depending on a person’s body size, even two milligrams, or less than a grain of salt, can be fatal.
We offer our heartfelt sympathies to Rick Harrison and the rest of the family during this terrible time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they face this awful loss.
