‘Pawn Star’ Rick Harrison’s Son Cause of Death Released

The death of Adam Harrison, the 39-year-old son of Rick Harrison of  TV’s Pawn Stars fame, was caused by an accidental overdose of fentanyl and methamphetamine, according to the Clark County Coroner’s Office.

The younger Harrison was pronounced dead in the Las Vegas guest house he was living in on the afternoon of January 19, according to the report from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Another resident had expressed concern about not seeing him in two days. So the landlord entered, found him unresponsive, and called police.

Adam was one of two sons Rick had with his first of three ex-wives, Kim. Corey is the other, and Rick also has another son, Jake, from his second ex-wife, Tracy.
