The cause of Rick Harrison's son's death has recently been confirmed. Many people have sent prayers to the bereaved father.

Days after the sad news about Adam Harrison's demise circulated around the public, the cause of his death at 39 has been revealed. Rick Harrison's beloved late son met his demise as a result of a fentanyl overdose.

The information comes after the Las Vegas Metro PD informed news sources that they were investigating Adam's death. Rick's representative confirmed the cause of death.

In addition to confirming the fentanyl overdose, the "Pawn Stars" talent's rep also disclosed: "The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously...We must do better."

After the new information regarding his son's death was published, the grieving dad took to Instagram to post throwback photos of him and his son. The first depicted a beaming young Adam perched on his doting dad's shoulders as he walked down the stairs.

The second image showed a tender father-son moment of the duo taking a nap together on a couch. Rick's caption read: "Amazing memories."

People who had heard the devastating news and who saw Rick's post expressed their heartache. One fan commented: "Sorry for your loss. No parent should have to outlive their kids."

Another stated,"❤️ Great pics. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. Just thinking about it makes my heart hurt...but [I] cannot even fathom," while someone else said, "I am so sorry for the irreparable loss of your son. May God comfort you in these difficult times."

Fans who have sent their condolences are also praying for the father as he mourns the significant loss of his dearly loved and missed son, Adam.

As previously reported on January 20:

Rick Harrison, the star of the History series "Pawn Stars," has faced the tragic loss of one of his three sons. The police have begun an active investigation into the poignant death.

Adam Harrison, the son of "Pawn Stars" reality star Rick Harrison, has tragically passed away at the age of 39. The Harrison family has expressed profound sorrow and requested privacy during this difficult time.

Harrison shared a heartfelt post on social media, stating, "You will always be in my heart! I love you, Adam. 💔" The photo showcased a bond that endures beyond the grave, reflecting a profound sense of loss.

The public has rallied around the star, expressing their disbelief and grief over the news. One fan commented, "Can't believe that's happened so sad," while another described the loss as "heartbreaking," and a third declared it “terrible news.”

The sentiment of losing too many people in the same way Adam died was echoed, highlighting the widespread impact of such tragedies. "Too many of our children are taken by the disease of addiction," one comment read, capturing the collective heartache.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the circumstances of Adam's death, as the details remain uncertain. The Harrison family was notified of his fatal overdose on January 19, 2024.

He was one of Harrison's three children, known for his private life away from the limelight of "Pawn Stars." Adam had once contributed to the family's famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop before choosing to forge his own path.

While Harrison's son Corey has been a regular presence on "Pawn Stars" since its inception, Adam opted for a life out of the public eye. TMZ suggests he made a living in a skilled trade, potentially as a plumber, although specifics about his professional life are scarce.

Corey, Adam’s brother, also turned to social media to share his grief, signaling the personal toll the loss has taken on the family. His post served as a poignant reminder of the brothers' childhood bond, now severed by untimely death.
