Rick Harrison, the renowned frontman of the hit reality show ‘Pawn Stars,’ is facing a devastating personal tragedy.
His son, Adam Harrison, has reportedly passed away due to an overdose, TMZ reported.
The news was revealed on Friday, though the specifics surrounding Adam’s passing remain unclear, including the time, location, and substance involved.
The Harrison family, in a statement to the media, expressed their deep sorrow and requested privacy as they navigate their grief.
“Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss.”
The Las Vegas Metro Police Department is said to be investigating the circumstances around Adam’s unfortunate demise. The details surrounding his death are currently kept under wraps, and no official information has been released as of yet.

TMZ reported:
Adam is one of Rick’s three kids — all boys — and he’s been mostly off the radar in terms of Rick’s show and store. Word is … Adam helped out at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop once upon a time — but has since stepped away to do his own thing.
He doesn’t appear to have been featured in any of the episodes from what we can see.
Rick had two kids with his first wife Kim … Corey and Adam — and he also had a son, Jake, with his second wife, Tracy.
While Rick’s oldest son Corey is heavily involved in “Pawn Stars,” first appearing on the reality show way back in 2009, Adam mostly remained out of the spotlight.
With Adam never really getting involved on the show, there’s not a lot known about him … though some folks have claimed he made a living as a plumber. We’ve heard he worked professionally in some kind of trade, but no word on what kind of job specifically.
