Rick Harrison, who you might know from the TV show “Pawn Stars,” is feeling very sad right now.

His son, Adam Harrison, passed away recently. He was only 39 years old when he died because of a drug overdose.

Rick’s spokesperson, Laura Herlovich, told The Las Vegas Review Journal about this heartbreaking news.

The Clark County Coroner gave an update about Adam’s death. They said it was an accident. He died because he took a mix of fentanyl and methamphetamine. The Coroner will give more details about this later.

It’s important to talk about how many people are dying because of fentanyl in the United States. According to the CDC, in 2022, 73,654 people died because of fentanyl overdoses. This is more than double the number from 2019.

Adam was a plumber, not an actor on “Pawn Stars.” But he worked at the family pawn shop called Gold & Silver Pawn, which is shown on the TV show.

Laura Herlovich, who speaks for the Harrison family, asked everyone to give them privacy while they grieve Adam’s death. Rick, Adam’s dad, posted on Instagram to remember his son. He shared a picture of them together and wrote, “You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam.”

Rick’s older son, Corey Harrison, also remembered his little brother on social media. He shared a picture of them as kids in a bathtub. Corey wrote, “I will always love you bubba.”

TMZ first reported the sad news about Adam’s death. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department is looking into what happened. Rick Harrison confirmed to FOX News Digital that Adam died because of a fentanyl overdose.

Rick wants people to take the fentanyl crisis seriously. He’s upset that not enough is being done to stop this dangerous drug from coming into the country. Rick wants everyone to work together to fight this crisis and save lives.

It’s really important to know just how dangerous fentanyl is. The Drug Enforcement Agency says that even a tiny amount, just 2 milligrams, which is less than a grain of salt, can kill someone.

As Rick Harrison and his family grieve for Adam, their message reminds us of the terrible impact of the fentanyl crisis.
