DJ AM, born Adam Goldstein, has been found dead at his New York City apartment at around 5:20 p.m. on Friday, August 28, 2009. He was 36 years old.
DJ AM formerly was engaged to Nicole Richie in 2005. He survived in a tragic plane crash with rocker Travis Barker in September 2008.
TMZ is reporting that prescription drug paraphernalia was found at the scene and cops are looking into whether it was an accidental overdose.
"Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein was found deceased this afternoon in his New York City apartment,” a rep for DJ AM said in a statement Friday. “The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear. Out of respect for his family and loved ones, please respect their privacy at this time."
DJ A.M., rest in peace!
