Rick Harrison, creator and star of “Pawn Stars,” is grieving the loss of his son, Adam Harrison, who tragically passed away at 39 due to a drug overdose. Laura Herlovich, Rick’s representative, confirmed the news to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The Clark County Coroner ruled Adam’s death an accident, attributing it to a lethal combination of fentanyl and methamphetamine. A detailed report will follow.
Fentanyl-related deaths have surged in the U.S., with the CDC reporting 73,654 fatalities in 2022 alone, more than doubling since 2019.
Adam, a plumber, occasionally worked at the family’s Gold & Silver Pawn shop, the setting of “Pawn Stars,” but was not a regular cast member.
Laura Herlovich requested privacy for the Harrison family during their mourning. Rick honored his son on Instagram with a heartfelt photo, writing, “You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam.”
Corey Harrison, Rick’s oldest son, also paid tribute on social media, sharing a childhood photo and expressing, “I will always love you bubba.”
Rick emphasized the urgent need to address the fentanyl crisis and called for unified efforts to combat this deadly epidemic, underscoring the lethal potency of fentanyl.
