DJ AM Found Dead In NYC Apartment

The details are unclear and some media outlets are reporting that DJ AM’s body is still in his apartment. More to follow.

Celebrity disc jockey DJ AM – also known as Adam Goldstein – was found dead in SoHo Friday.

According to authorities, his body was found in his seventh floor apartment around 5:20 p.m. and was surrounded by prescription drugs. One of his friends – who had reportedly not heard from him in a few days – phoned authorities when he went to check on him and did not get a response.

New York City police then broke down the door and found DJ AM dead.

Goldstein, along with drummer Travis Barker, survived a small plane crash in South Carolina back in September. Four people died in that incident.
