It’s now being reported that police found a crack pipe and prescription pills in DJ AM‘s Manhattan apartment after breaking down his door yesterday. An autopsy is underway, but police suspect the cause of death was an overdose.
DJ AM was reportedly dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder after surviving a plane crash with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker last September and was “completely devasted” by his recent breakup with his American Apparel model girlfriend Hayley Wood, who’s pictured above leaving the DJ’s apartment in tears after learning of his death.
DJ AM, whose real name is was Adam Goldstein, had opened up about having serious addictions to Ecstacy and crack, but claimed he had been clean for years. The fact that DJ AM had been working on a new MTV show (“Gone Too Far”) about helping drug addicts only makes his untimely death even sadder. [Photo: Splash News Online]
