The Las Vegas Metro Police Department is presently conducting an investigation into the case.
Laura Herlovich, Harrison’s representative, verified the cause of Adam’s death and conveyed the following statement on behalf of the family:
“Our family is profoundly saddened by the passing of Adam. We kindly request privacy as we navigate through this period of mourning.”
Rick has additionally posted a photo featuring Adam on his Instagram page.
In a caption addressed to his 846,000 followers, the mourning father expressed, “You will always hold a place in my heart! I love you, Adam.”
Rick’s second child, Adam, led a discreet life, seldom appearing on the reality series or engaging in social media. Although he initially contributed to the operations of the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, prominently featured on the History Channel’s Pawn Stars, he eventually chose to follow his own pursuits, distancing himself from the family business.
Even with the show’s enduring popularity, spanning 22 seasons since its 2009 debut, Adam remained in the background, not taking a prominent role in the series. Currently, there are conflicting reports regarding his chosen profession, with some sources suggesting he worked as a plumber.
Corey Harrison, Adam’s older brother at the age of 40, takes on a central role in the reality show. Rick shares Corey with his first wife, Kim, to whom he was married from 1982 to 1985. The family dynamic extends to include a half-brother named Jake, shared by Rick and his second wife, Tracy, during their marriage from 1986 to 2011. Jake has also been featured in appearances on Pawn Stars.

Rick has experienced four marriages in his lifetime, one of which was with Deanna Burditt, lasting from 2013 to 2020. Following this, he entered into a marriage with Amanda Palmer in 2021.
Established in Las Vegas in 1989, the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, prominently showcased in the reality show, stands as a family-owned business. It has played a pivotal role in the Harrisons’ lives, contributing to their ascent to fame and leaving an indelible mark on popular culture in the United States.
The eagerly anticipated 23rd season of the beloved series is scheduled to premiere later this year.
