A large number of individuals worldwide are familiar with Rick Harrison in his role as the presenter of the popular television series Pawn Stars. He has publicly addressed the passing of his 39-year-old son Adam.
Sad news earlier this week confirmed that Adam Harrison had passed away from what was believed to be a heroin overdose. Now, his father has stated that fentanyl was responsible.
“Indeed, I can verify that Adam passed away due to a fentanyl overdose,” Rick said Fox News Live. “This nation should give greater consideration to the fentanyl crisis.” It appears that no measures are being taken to prevent it from crossing the boundaries. We need to improve.
TMZ was the initial source of information of Adam’s passing, but there is still limited knowledge about the specific details, such as the timing and location of the overdose. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department has begun to investigate it.
Lisa Herlovich, employed by the Harrison family, issued a statement on behalf of Adam’s acquaintances and relatives expressing their deep sorrow at his passing. Please allow us some privacy while we grieve his passing.
Craig Harrison had two children with his former spouse, Kim Harrison. Adam was their second kid they had. He is the younger sibling of Corey Harrison. Following that, Rick wed Tracy, and they now have a son called Jake.
Adam did not make an appearance on the well-known television program Pawn Stars, which features Rick and Corey. However, it is reported that he was employed at Gold & Silver Pawn, the shop owned by the family, prior to the show’s debut in 2009. However, he hadn’t been employed at the pawn store in the past few months.
Upon learning of Adam’s death from an overdose, Rick took to Instagram to share a heartfelt homage to his son. Rick added, “You will forever hold a special place in my heart!” next to a picture of himself and Adam smiling in a pub. Adam, I have strong feelings for you. 💏”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that between January 2020 and 2021, there was a 56.6% increase in overdose deaths related to synthetic opioids.
Fentanyl is classified as a Schedule II substance by the Drug Enforcement Administration. It is similar to morphine but approximately 100 times stronger. Two milligrams, which is less than a grain of salt, can be lethal to a person, depending on their body size.
Alan Harrison, may you find eternal peace! Rick and the rest of the family are in our minds and in our prayers.
