We’ve just learned some very sad and unexpected news: TMZ is reporting that DJ AM, also known as Adam Goldstein, was found dead today around 5:20PM in his New York City apartment. He was 36 years old. Police broke down his door after concerned friends reported that they hadn’t seen or heard from him in days. Drug paraphernalia (possibly pill bottles) was allegedly also found at the scene.
The former fiance of Nicole Richie, AM was a recovering addict and sobriety advocate. According to Perez Hilton he was working on a TV show that focused on helping young people get clean. Last September AM survived a harrowing plane crash with drummer Travis Barker that left no other survivors.
His last Twitter post, dated August 25th, was “New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems.”
