According to a Las Vegas Review-Journal report, the Las Vegas police were investigating his death, which was initially reported by media outlet TMZ. The police department hasn’t responded to questions regarding Rick Harrison’s son’s death so far. Meanwhile, Herlovich said it remains unclear which drug Harrison overdosed on, as well as the exact location where he died.

Rick Harrison later revealed that his son had overdosed on fentanyl, which has killed countless Americans in recent years. Rick went on to blast the border crisis that is plaguing the country and allowing fentanyl to enter illegally.

While Adam Harrison didn’t play a significant role in the TV show, many fans expressed their grief on social media.
