TMZ and The New York Post are both reporting that DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, was found dead this afternoon in his NYC apartment. He was only 36.
The cops say his friends had not heard from him for a few days. When his friends went to check on him, they didn't get any response after knocking on his door. The police were called and they knocked down the door to his apartment. Sources tell the NY Post that drug paraphernalia was found in his apartment.
It was almost a year ago when DJ AM and Travis Barker both survived a fatal plane crash in South Carolina.
This is absolutely crazy and tragic. Everyone on Twitter is saying this is like Final Destination
(and the fourth movie opens today, gulp). I don't know about that, but I do know this is all sorts of sad. The Summer of Death needs to end. Can it be Autumn already?
Rest in peace, DJ AM.
