DJ AM Found Dead in New York City

Adam Goldstein, known to most as his stage name of DJ AM, was found dead in his bed on Friday in New York City, TMZ is reporting. He was 36 years old. According to the report, drug paraphernalia was allegedly found at the scene and Goldstein hadn't been seen or heard from in several days.

A friend checking on Goldstein eventually called police, and they broke down the door and found his body.

TMZ is reporting that prescription pill bottles and, according to a law enforcement source, a glass "crack pipe" were also found near Goldstein's body. They report his shirtless body was found at 5PM on Friday afternoon.

Goldstein, who dated celebrities Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore, was known for his eclectic taste in music and blending all genres into his DJ routines.

DJ AM barely escaped death in a 2008 plane crash involving him and fellow musician Travis Barker. Their plane crashed after aborting takeoff, killing four other people.

So sad, may he Rest in Peace. =(
