The day that Adam lost his life, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that he died of an overdose.
The report was based on a remark made by a representative of the Harrison family.
Several days later, Rick Harrison confirmed his son died from a fentanyl overdose.
“Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose,” Rick told The Post in a statement on Monday.
“The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously,” he added. “It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”
Earlier in the week, when it was not clear what substances might have been present in Adam’s system at the time of his death, actor Christopher Clawson, a friend of Rick’s, indicated that fentanyl was involved.
“Condolences Rick. The fentanyl situation is out of control in this country and nobody seems to be doing anything meaningful about it,” Clawson commented on Rick’s Instagram post.
“Use your platform to help change that.”
Other noteworthy public figures also offered their condolences to Rick, including Donald Trump Jr., who wrote, “I’m so sorry man.”
“I’m so sorry to hear about Adam. May he rest in [peace] and God bless you and your family my friend,” added Richard Wilk, who is best known for his appearances in the Gambling in Las Vegas docu-series.
Rick’s rep said also confirmed Adam died in Las Vegas and the family was notified Friday.
