UPDATE: The autopsy report came back inconclusive pending a toxicology report, but police found crack in DJ AM’s pocket and a pipe nearby. Police have also confirmed that he was not lying in his apartment for days, as some have suggested, and more than likely died early last Friday morning.
DJ AM was found dead this afternoon in his New York apartment. A drug overdose appears to be the cause of death. Law enforcement found drug paraphernalia at the scene and was told that no one had seen or heard from him in days. A friend broke down the door to his apartment and found AM’s body laying there and immediately called the police.
DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was known for being one of the biggest entertainers in Hollywood, often performing at celebrity events and parties. He is the ex-fiance of Nicole Ritchie and less than a year ago almost lost his life in a plane crash with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker.
*sigh* Way to make the best out of your second chance…
