AP Source: Disc Jockey DJ AM Found Dead in NYC
By COLLEEN LONG and NEKESA MUMBI MOODY, Associated Press Writers

NEW YORK (AP) -- DJ AM, the sought-after disc jockey who became a celebrity in his own right with high-profile romances and a glamorous lifestyle, was found dead Friday at his apartment, which had drug paraphernalia in it, a law enforcement official said.

Paramedics had to break down the door to his Manhattan apartment before they found his body at about 5:20 p.m., the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because family hadn't been notified. There was no evidence of foul play, the official said.

DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, had talked openly about past addictions to crack cocaine, Ecstasy and other drugs, but he claimed he had been drug-free for years.

He died nearly a year after surviving a South Carolina plane crash that killed four people and seriously injured rock musician Travis Barker.

Goldstein, 36, was a deejay for hire who performed at Hollywood's most exclusive parties and was admired by music aficionados. He also was famous for past relationships with the reality TV star Nicole Richie, the daughter of singer Lionel Richie, and with actress-singer Mandy Moore.

Goldstein was critically injured last September when a Learjet crashed on takeoff in Columbia, South Carolina. The plane was transporting Goldstein and Barker, a drummer for the pop punk band Blink-182, after a performance; the pair had formed the duo TRVSDJ-AM.

Barker and Goldstein were burned, though Barker was injured more severely. Goldstein had to get skin graft surgery, but about a month later, he was performing again, joining Jay-Z on stage.

At the time, he told People magazine he was grateful to survive.

"I can't believe I made it," he said. "I've prayed every night for the past 10 years. There's a lot more to thank God for now. ... I was saved for a reason. Maybe I'm going to help someone else. I don't question it. All I know is I'm thankful to be here."

Goldstein rose to fame several years ago as highly sought-after DJ whose beats kept the dance floor packed and clubgoers hypnotized.

Celebrities and fans instantly shared their reactions to his death on Twitter, where "RIP DJ AM" was the No. 1 topic Friday.

"I'm stunned. Rest in peace Adam," singer-songwriter Josh Groban posted.

"So horrible. In shock," wrote TV host Maria Menounos.

"Thoughts and strength goes out to friends and family," entertainer Solange Knowles wrote.

"He survived a deadly plane crash and now THIS," blogger Perez Hilton tweeted. "I can't stop crying."

Representatives for Moore and Barker didn't immediately return telephone messages seeking comment on the DJ's death.

Why can't Perez Hilton die as well.

Why are there two threads on this?

Hell, why is there one thread?

I'd have thought ASG's mention in the random thread was enough.

We're overlooking the main issue here.

myxomatosis · 08-29-2009, 11:51 AM

You have a valid point.

If you graphed out the percentage of celebrities that die each year, I wonder how big the '09 spike would be...

we were talking about that the other day.

but, what i was thinking is that celeb deaths will become more abundant as the age of celebrities who were part of when the emergence of mass celebs start getting towards that age.

if that makes any sense.

DJ AM is that house Dj who dj's parties for richie people and at big vegas clubs and shit. Travis Barker (the aquabats, blink 182, the transplants, box car racer) also plays with him a lot. They both somehow survived a planecrash together last year I believe. That's whats so damn creepy about this. He got found with pills and a crackpipe hahaha. Wtf. O.D.B. status!

And Perez Hilton is the gay gossip blogger from l.a.
