Rick Harrison, star of the popular reality show “Pawn Stars,” has broken his silence following the sudden and tragic passing of his son, Adam. In a heartfelt tribute posted on Instagram, Rick shared a photo of himself and Adam, expressing his deep love and sorrow.
Adam, who was just 39 years old, died of a fentanyl overdose in Las Vegas. The news sent shockwaves through the community, leaving Rick’s family and friends utterly devastated. Rick’s representative, Laura Herlovich, confirmed the tragic news, asking for privacy as the family grieves.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Rick revealed the exact cause of Adam’s death, emphasizing the need for greater awareness and action to address the fentanyl crisis. “The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously,” Rick said. “It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”
Fans and friends of Rick’s, including Donald Trump Jr., were quick to offer condolences and support. Adam’s brother, Corey Harrison, also paid tribute to his late sibling on Instagram, sharing a heartfelt message and a touching photo of the two brothers.
Adam’s passing serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the fentanyl crisis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, overdose deaths, including synthetic opioids, have increased by 56.6% from January 2020 to 2021. The Drug Enforcement Agency lists fentanyl as a highly potent and lethal substance, with even small amounts capable of causing death.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Harrison family during this incredibly difficult time. May Adam rest in peace.
