More details have emerged about Adam Harrison's sudden passing.
The 39-year-old died from a fentanyl overdose, his father, Pawn Stars host Rick Harrison, confirmed to E! News on Jan. 25.

"Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam," his loved ones said in a statement through their rep. "We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss."

The day after his son's passing, Rick shared an image to social media of he and his son sitting at a restaurant together.
"You will always be in my heart!" the 58-year-old captioned his post, adding a broken heart emoji. "I love you Adam."
A few days later, he shared older photos of the two from Adam's childhood, captioning the Jan. 24 post, "Amazing memories."
