TRAGIC NEWS

While there was no further information provided by Rick, a rep revealed that Adam died from an overdose, with the family finding out on Friday, according to TMZ.

The news outlet also revealed that the Las Vegas Metro PD is investigating the case, although the exact circumstances of his death have not been revealed.

Adam was just one of Rick’s kids, as the History Channel star also has a son named Corey, 40, with his first wife.

ADAM’S LIFE
