Adam Goldstein died in New York City today of an apparent drug overdose. He survived a Lear Jet crash with Travis Barker of Blink 182 just under a year ago and now this... He was 36.
His last message was via Twitter on Aug. 25th which read: "New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems." Lyrics from the Grandmaster Flash song "New York, New York". Very sad
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.
