It’s a time of mourning at the home of “Pawn Star” Rick Harrison, as he recently lost his son, Adam, to a fentanyl attack. Adam, who died at the age of 39, was found to have overdosed on drugs on January 19 at an undisclosed location.
Police have since launched an investigation into his death, but in the meantime, Harrison has received condolences, one of which came from Donald Trump’s two sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump.
“Donald Jr. and Eric Trump contacted Rick after learning of Adam’s death. We’re told Trump spoke to Rick on the phone to offer his condolences,” said Harrison’s representative, per TMZ.
The phone call was not surprising, given the long-standing relationship between the Trump and Harrison families. Harrison has been a vocal supporter of the former president for years, and the two met in September 2018 at the White House.

Amidst the grief of his loss, Harrison has slammed the government for not having enough control measures to prevent the proliferation of fentanyl in the country.
“Yes, I can confirm that Adam died of a fentanyl overdose. The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously,” a representative for the “Pawn Stars” frontman told the news outlet.. “It seems like it’s just flowing at the border, and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”
At the time of Adam’s death, the Harrison family issued a public statement through a spokesperson to announce their loss. It reads, per People Magazine, “Our family is deeply saddened by Adam’s death. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss.”
Adam has since been laid to rest at a private funeral attended by close friends and family. She is one of Harrison’s three children, and he shares the late 39-year-old with his first wife, Kim. Not much is known about him because he did not appear in any episodes of “Rental Stars,” unlike Harrison’s other children, Rick and Corey.

Harrison posted additional throwback photos of Adam from his childhood a few days later. One image captures Harrison carrying Adam around his neck while standing on a long wooden staircase, while another depicts the two of them lying on a chair, sharing a cozy moment.
