DJ AM’s Death Was a Result of Accidental Overdose October 14
After having survived a plane crash with fellow celebrity Travis Barker that killed all the other passengers and the crew a little less than a year before, Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM in clubs across the country, died from an overdose brought on by a deadly mix of several drugs. The tragedy of his death was that much sadder because it came long after he’d recovered from a drug addiction that had taken over his life in his teens and early twenties. He was found in his apartment August 28th after a friend called authorites to the scene.
He was known for his skills as a blender of multiple tracks and loved for both this gift and the interesting social life he led as a central member in the club scene and a boyfriend to both Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore. Many of those close to the DJ felt that his relapse and subsequent overdose came as a result of the stress brought on by the accident he’d escaped and ultimately came to feel guilty about surviving. The drugs found in his system( OxyContin, Benedryl, Cocaine, Vicodin, Xanax, Klonopin, Levamisole and Ativan) were more than enough to kill Goldstein as a result of acute intoxication from the combined drugs.
