DJ AM

DJ AM committed suicide

Turns out that 8 OxyContins in your stomach at once is really really bad for you. From 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.

He killed himself over a woman? How cliched. If you're gonna kill yourself over a woman, at least make it look cool so everyone's lasting memory of you isn't that you're a total pussy. "Dude, did you hear what happened to DJ AM? He was killed on a safari in Africa yesterday. He actually got out of the guide's SUV and rode one of the male lions for a good fifteen seconds before it mauled him to death . . . Now that I think about it, he was a pretty cool dude."

DJ AM dead at 36

Adam Goldstein (aka DJ AM) was found dead today in his New York City apartment. He was just 36. Holy shit. From TMZ:

Sources tell TMZ prescription pill bottles were found near DJ AM's body this afternoon.

We're told his body was found at around 5 PM at his apartment in New York City -- he was shirtless and wearing sweatpants. He was face down.

UPDATE 9:15 PM ET: Law enforcement sources say the call came in at 5:24 PM -- the FDNY responded at 5:27 PM. We're told DJ AM was pronounced dead on the scene at 6:00 PM.

UPDATE 8:35 PM ET: A law enforcement source on scene tells TMZ a glass "crack pipe" was found in his bedroom. The pill bottles were found in the kitchen.

How many upwardly mobile Jewish men will crack claim before we recognize we have a problem in this country? RIP Adam.

Get it? Get it? Being a 36-year-old male, DJ AM does not fit into the normal Britney Spears fan demographic -- yet he's wearing one of her shirts! Get it? LOL! I just hope for the sake of my funny bone that he doesn't throw a pie in someone's face or tell a knock-knock joke because I may literally die laughing.

DJ AM almost died again

TMZ is claiming that DJ AM -- who already survived a plane crash last September -- was supposed to be on the ill-fated Continental Airlines flight that crashed in Buffalo in mid-February, killing 49 on the plane and one on the ground:

DJ AM, in an incredible sequence of events, was scheduled to fly on the doomed Continental flight that crashed in Buffalo and killed 49 people -- it would have been his second plane crash in six months.

He was booked on the flight but had a bad feeling about it and canceled and drove instead. DJ AM now says his flying days are over. He will only book gigs if he can drive to them. (Source)

So basically DJ AM's life has turned into my favorite gruesome movie, Final Destination. Cool: He gets to hook up with Ali Larter. Not cool: He's going to die soon. DJ, you might as well live like there's no tomorrow. Drain your bank account to buy ungodly amounts of heroin and blow, share needles, eat all the trans fats your stomach can handle, hook up with Paris Hilton. The world is your oyster . . . at least until you're randomly decapitated by a flying lawnmower blade.
