For many years, he had been fighting against his drug and alcohol addictions, a fight he ended up losing: the young Harrison Wagner, whose father Jack had an important role in the series Melrose Place, died at just 27 on Monday. Found dead in a parking lot in Los Angeles, he was found by the police, who could only confirm the death according to information from the Mail Online.
For the moment, no other information has been communicated by the authorities or by the family of the young man, undoubtedly collapsed after this sad news. His father, who had distinguished himself from the 4th season of the hit series Melrose Place, has not yet reacted, nor has his brother Peter, who is 4 years older than him, or their mother, Kristina.
The actor, who got engaged in 2008 to former partner Heather Locklear, also had a one-night stand daughter, Kerry. A family probably crushed with grief who knew, however, that the young man was struggling against terrible addictions to drugs and alcohol. A real problem, which his father had also known when he was younger.
“I will ask those who want to share their fears, addictions and struggles to do so with me. We can face them together, I’ll start. I fear for the safety of my youngest son. Harrison struggled with drugs and alcohol like me when I was younger. He relapsed…” he wrote in 2016, when his son was missing for more than a week.
The young man, barely 18 years old at the time, was also very marked by the death of rapper Mac Miller two years later, also dead of an overdose. “This is a wake-up call for those who still use and suffer from the disease“, he wrote the day after his death. It is not yet known what caused his death, even if an overdose is preferred, but the news will soon be confirmed.
