Adam’s brother, Corey Harrison, also paid tribute to his late sibling, sharing a touching baby photo of the two of them. The Harrison family has been left reeling from the loss, with Rick revealing that Adam’s death was caused by the devastating fentanyl crisis sweeping the nation.
Rick spoke candidly to Fox News Digital, saying, “The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously. It seems it is just flowing over the borders and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported a staggering 56.6% increase in overdose deaths, including synthetic opioids, from January 2020 to 2021.
As the Harrison family navigates this difficult time, they are not alone. The Drug Enforcement Agency has listed fentanyl as a Schedule II controlled substance, warning that even a small amount can be lethal. The nation is grappling with the devastating consequences of the fentanyl crisis, and the Harrison family’s loss is a heartbreaking reminder of its impact.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Harrison family as they come to terms with the loss of Adam. May he rest in peace.
