Rick Harrison had previously shown his support for Trump by appearing at a get-out-the-vote rally in Las Vegas in 2016.

Adam's older brother, Corey Harrison, also shared a childhood photo of the two of them in a bathtub, reminiscing about their time together.

According to KLAS, the Harrison family released a statement expressing their deep sadness over Adam's death. Laura Herlovich, a representative for the Harrison family, confirmed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Adam's passing was a result of an overdose. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time of grieving.
