DJ AM Dies
Cops tell us
DJ AM -- also known as Adam Goldstein -- was found dead this afternoon in New York City.
Law enforcement sources tell us he was found in his apartment at around 5:20 PM. We're told drug paraphernalia was found at the scene.
We're told DJ AM had not been seen or heard from for a few days -- one of his friends went to check on him, but got no response after knocking on his
apartment door.
We're told the friend called the police, who broke down the door and then found DJ AM's body.
Back in September of 2008, DJ AM and Travis Barker survived a plane crash in South Carolina. Four people died in the crash -- which was caused
when the airplane aborted takeoff and then ran off the runway. DJ AM and Barker were the only survivors.
