Tragedy struck the famed Harrison family, known for their appearances on the reality TV series Pawn Stars, as Rick Harrison’s son, Adam Harrison, passed away at the age of 39 on January 20. The reported cause of his death is a drug overdose, and details surrounding the specific circumstances remain unclear, with an ongoing investigation by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, as reported by TMZ.
In a statement to TMZ, the Harrison family expressed deep sorrow over Adam’s death and requested privacy as they mourn. The family is currently grappling with the devastating loss, and information regarding the substance involved in the overdose is yet to be disclosed.
Adam, one of Rick’s three sons, had largely kept a low profile compared to his brothers, Corey and Jake. While Corey and Jake regularly featured on Rick’s social media accounts, Adam seldom made appearances. Despite having an Instagram page, he rarely posted and distanced himself from the family’s famous pawn shop. Notably, Adam never appeared on the Pawn Stars TV show, choosing to keep his life more private.
Pawn Stars, a renowned American reality television series, has been documenting the daily operations of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop since 1989. The show, set in Las Vegas, focuses on the family dynamics and business transactions within the pawn shop, originally run by patriarch Richard “Old Man” Harrison and son Rick Harrison. The series, produced by Leftfield Pictures, has become a cultural phenomenon, offering viewers insights into the world of pawnbroking and the unique items that pass through the shop.
