Harrison has struggled with addiction in the past, but it is unclear if this played a role in his death. In July 2016, he disappeared for almost a week after a relapse, according to Jack.
“I asked those who want to share their fears, addictions and struggles to do so with me via Twitter. We can face them together, I’ll start,” the actor tweeted at the time.

“I fear for the safety of my young children,” he confessed in another tweet. “Harrison struggled with drugs and alcohol just like I did when I was little. He relapsed and has 5 days MIA.”
The next day, Jack updated his followers to let them know he had heard of his son.
“Harrisons has been in touch,” he tweeted. “He is 21 years old and at the forefront of his life, for life and prayers, please continue to share your struggles, he helps us all.”

In addition to Harrison, Jack and his wife, Kristina Wagner, are also the parents of 31-year-old son Peter Wagner. The actor is also the father of daughter Kerry Wagner, who was born in 1998 after a one-night stand.
According to his Instagram page, Harrison was a “crazy kid” who loved hiking, his dogs, and going to the gym.
His latest post, dated May 22, is a picture of him sitting on a bench outside, looking into the distance as he listens to music. “Focus. You stay with YOU and your thoughts,” the caption captioned.
