Hearts Break for ‘Pawn Star’ Star Rick Harrison

UPDATE: Rick Harrison has confirmed his son’s cause of death.

In a statement shared with TMZ, Harrison, through his camp, confirmed his son, Adam, overdosed on fentanyl. He then went on to blame the border crisis.

"Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose. The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously.  It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better."

Fans of Pawn Stars are devastated over recent news. During the early morning hours of January 20, Rick Harrison, the beloved star of Pawn Stars, made a heartbreaking announcement.
