Rick Harrison breaks silence after son’s sudden death at 39 – confirms the tragic truth

Rick Harrison, known for “Pawn Stars,” revealed his son, Adam, died at 39 from a fentanyl overdose. Rick emphasizes the seriousness of the fentanyl crisis and urges better measures to address it. Adam, Rick’s second child from his first marriage, worked at the family’s business, Gold & Silver Pawn, but wasn’t part of the show. Rick posted a tribute on Instagram and called for improved awareness of drug dangers.

Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, is linked to rising overdose deaths, with a 56.6% increase from January 2020 to 2021. The Drug Enforcement Agency notes fentanyl’s extreme potency, with just two milligrams being potentially lethal.

Adam’s death raises concerns about the widespread impact of the fentanyl crisis. The family released a statement expressing deep sadness and requesting privacy. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department is investigating the circumstances surrounding Adam’s overdose.

The tragic incident underscores the severity of the opioid epidemic and the need for enhanced efforts to address its devastating consequences.

“Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose,” Rick said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously. It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”

Rest in peace, Adam Harrison! We’re sending thoughts and prayers to Rick and the rest of the family.
