According to the
New York Post, Adam Goldstein (better known by his moniker
DJ AM) was found dead this afternoon in his Manhattan apartment. Sources say drug paraphernalia was at the scene. Goldstein was a recovering drug addict.
TMZ reports that no one had seen or heard from Goldstein for a few days, so finally a concerned friend came by to knock on his door. When Adam didn't answer, the pal called the police, who broke down the door to his apartment and found his body.
Last September, Goldstein was in a plane crash in South Carolina, where he was traveling with
Travis Barker. Goldstein and Barker were the only passengers to survive the crash. Barker's ex-wife
Shanna Moakler Tweeted today:
My deepest condolences for DJ AM, you were a great artist and will be severely missed. My thoughts and Prayers to his family and friends. Goldstein had previously dated
Nicole Richie and
Mandy Moore. He was 36.
