As we reported earlier, the high profile musical guru, DJ AM who was found dead on Friday. New information is emerging that points to the fact that what was originally labeled as a likely suicide may in fact have been accidental.
36-year old Adam Goldstein, the much sought-after DJ whose skills with a turntable brought him widespread celebrity and a highly glamorous life was found dead in his upscale New York apartment late Friday evening. NYPD sources are now saying a crack pipe and a collection of prescription pills were found at his side, and it’s believed the recovering addict was lured back to hard drugs by a fear of flying, made worse by his unbridled success.
After a near fatal plane crash last year, Mr. Goldstein was prescribed anti-anxiety drugs such as Xanax, part of a family of medications called ‘Benzodiazepines’ – known as benzos – to deal with his fears about flying again. But for a former addict like Adam, such pills can become an addiction themselves. And according to sources, that’s just what they did.
NYPD insiders tell TMZ that taking the benzos had tempted the DJ to start using crack cocaine once again, and the combination of both is what’s believed to have killed him.
The investigation is ongoing and an autopsy verdict is expected quite soon. We’ll keep you advised as the news comes.
