DJ AM Dead
DJ AM, also known as Adam Goldstein, was found dead this afternoon in New York City.
“Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein was found deceased this afternoon in his New York City apartment. The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear. Out of respect for his family and loved ones, please respect their privacy at this time.”
He was found in his apartment at around 5:20 PM. We’re told drug paraphernalia was found at the scene. Sources say DJ AM had not been seen or heard from for a few days, one of his friends went to check on him, but got no response after knocking on his apartment door. The friend called the cops, who gained entrance to his apartment and found the body.
DJ AM, the sought-after disc jockey who became a celebrity in his own right with high-profile romances and a glamorous lifestyle and survived a plane crash just months ago. Back in September of 2008, DJ AM and Travis Barker survived a plane crash in South Carolina. Four people died in the crash, which was caused when the airplane aborted takeoff and then ran off the runway. DJ AM and Barker were the only survivors.
Police found a crack pipe and prescription pills in the Manhattan apartment, said a law enforcement official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Paramedics had to break down the door before they found him, shirtless and wearing sweatpants, in his bed around 5:20 p.m., the official said.

DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, had talked openly about past addictions to crack cocaine, Ecstasy and other drugs, addictions so bad he once tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head, but the gun jammed. However, he claimed he had been drug-free for years, even swearing off cigarettes.
In October, MTV was to debut his new reality show, “Gone Too Far,” in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers. In a recent interview with the AP, he talked about holding a crack pipe for the first time in years for the show and said he felt as though he had an angel on his shoulder for surviving so much turmoil.
