Pawn Stars frontman Rick Harrison’s son, Adam, has reportedly died of an overdose. He was 39.

TMZ reported Friday local time that a representative for the History Channel star claimed that the Harrison family learned earlier that day that Adam had died of an overdose.

It is currently unclear when and where he died, and from what substance, the New York Post reports.

“Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss,” the Harrison family told TMZ in a statement.

Harrison paid tribute to his son in a post on Instagram on Saturday afternoon.

“You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam,” he captioned the post.

The Las Vegas Metro Police Department is reportedly investigating the case, per TMZ.

Pawn Stars premiered in 2009 and follows three generations of the Harrison family as they decipher what objects brought into the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop are real and which ones are fake.

The Post has contacted representatives for A+E Networks, Harrison, and the LVMPD for comment.

Not much is known about Adam, nor does he appear on Harrison’s Instagram account like other members of his family.

TMZ reports that Adam previously helped out at the pawn shop but had stepped away. He seemingly never appeared on the TV show. Harrison shares Adam and his other son, Corey, with his first wife, Kim, as well as a third son, Jake, with his second wife, Tracy.
