DJ AM death linked to OxyContin high Dose

DJ AM’s death is now appearing to involve taking a lot of OxyContin, he was apparently taking the pills as he died, as one of the pills was found still in his mouth. Here is more according to People.

    Authorities investigating the death of DJ AM have found that he had eight undigested OxyContin pills in his stomach and a ninth in his mouth, a law enforcement source tells PEOPLE.
    The finding suggests that DJ AM – real name Adam Goldstein – swallowed the powerful painkillers quickly. “He wanted to die,” says the source, who says the suicide theory is supported by the pills and other evidence. “He was going unconscious when he took the last one. He didn’t even swallow it.”
    In addition to the OxyContin, the source says, authorities who entered Goldstein’s New York apartment Aug. 28 found a Valentine’s Day card in the next room from Haley Wood. The pair had recently split. Dated Feb. 14, 2009, the card read, “Thank God you’re in my life. I love you.” Next to the card were six or seven photos of Wood and Goldstein.
    “The card was lying on top of his laptops on the coffee table in the living room,” the source says.

DJ AM’s tragic death may have been accidental

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.

DJ AM found dead at 36

Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, survived a plane crash a year ago along with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, but tonight he was found dead in his New York City apartment. Goldstein was found face down and shirtless in his apartment and the circumstances surrounding his death were called unclear, but nothing criminal is currently suspected.  The famous DJ shot to mainstream media fame when he started dating reality star Nicole Richie.  The cause of death will not be made available until the medical examiner performs an autopsy and I would assume toxicology tests.  Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
