Adam’s death was confirmed by a family representative, Laura Herlovich, who asked for privacy as the family grieves. Rick later spoke to Fox News Digital, revealing that fentanyl was the cause of Adam’s death. He emphasized the need for greater awareness and action to address the fentanyl crisis in the country.
Fans and friends, including Donald Trump Jr., were quick to offer condolences to Rick and his family. Adam’s brother, Corey Harrison, also paid tribute to his late sibling on Instagram, sharing a touching baby photo of the two of them.
Adam was Rick’s second child from his first marriage to Kim Harrison. While Adam was not as involved in the family business as his brother Corey, he did work with his father on occasion.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports a significant increase in overdose deaths, including those caused by synthetic opioids like fentanyl. The Drug Enforcement Agency lists fentanyl as a highly potent and lethal substance, with even small amounts capable of causing death.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Harrison family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Adam.
