Adam Harrison, a son of Pawn Stars’ Rick Harrison who stayed out of the spotlight, has been found dead at 39.

If you have watched at least one episode of Pawn Stars, then you are sure to recognize Rick Harrison.

Owner of the iconic Gold & Silver Pawn Shop where the show is filmed, he is front and center of the massively popular series.

When he wasn’t filming the series he was raising his two sons, Corey and Adam Harrison.

Corey ultimately joined his father on the cast of the show, earning his pawn name “Big Hoss.” Adam, on the other hand, was never featured in the series with his family. Now, Adam Harris has been found dead.

Adam Harrison found dead at 39 from an alleged overdose

On January 19, TMZ broke the news that Adam was found dead at the young age of 39. The outlet reported that the cause seems to be an overdose, but this has not been confirmed as of yet.

Both Rick and Corey have since taken to social media to share heartfelt posts about him, with Corey sharing a photo of him and his brother as children.

Despite never seeing him on-screen, Pawn Stars fans have shared their well wishes to the family on Reddit.

One fan wrote, “As someone in recovery myself, my heart goes out to the family. No one should outlive their kids, and no one should have to watch their kids struggle with addiction.”

Another fan chimed in and wrote, “I hope they get the privacy and support they need at a time like this.”

As far as Pawn Stars goes, there haven’t been any updates on whether or not the successful show will be receiving a Season 23. And if so, there’s the question of whether or not Rick and Corey will be prepared to come back to the show after Adam’s death.
