As many of you have heard by now, Amad “DJ AM” Goldstein was found unresponsive in his Chelsea apartment at 7 am on Friday morning by his manager. He was pronounced dead on the scene by paramedics. Though many had thought this was a suicide, it has been revealed that he overdosed accidentally. There was crack paraphenalia and sleeping pills found at the scene… What was probably most telling, however was the last message Adam left to his fans on this twitter page:

Friends are coming out and saying that Adam had been struggling with relapse ever since his near-fatal plane accident a few months back. He was afraid he had developped an addiction to the pain-pills he was prescribed. Furthermore, he had fallen into a deep depression over this and the post-traumatic disorder from surviving such an ugly plane crash where several people had not. Adam had struggled with addiction most of his career, but kicked his bad habits 5 years ago, and had helped many celeb friends (including Nicole Richie) get straight again. His death is tragic and ironic. Our prayers and condolensces go out to AM, his loving family, and friends who have lost a great man way too soon. R.I.P.
