Breaking news reports that DJ AM was found dead in his New York City apartment this afternoon. Police arrived at his apartment after his friends were unable to get in touch for a few days and reported him missing. Reports state that there was drug paraphernalia found at the scene.

Adam Goldstein Aka DJ AM attends the BPM Magazine's 12th Anniversary  at the Avalon on July 16, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.

This is terribly upsetting, especially because DJ AM (full name Adam Goldstein) was known for his amazing recovery of drug addiction, and for helping Nicole Richie get sober.

DJ AM and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker survived a plane crash in South Carolina nearly a year ago which left four people dead. The boys were the only survivors.

Details are still coming in.

Please kids - stay off drugs! Support Partnership for a Drug-Free America on SocialVibe.

Dane I'm glad I'm clean now. I have been clean going on 6 yrs., and I was Baptized June 21st. I now have god in my life to help me cope with things better. So please say NO to drugs all it does is kill you & take away from you. Yes it hurts also, but most of all you kill yourself. So before it's to late stop, and say NO to drugs. I promise you want regert it. Look at me I'm proof I did it, and I lost everything do to it. Now I am getting back what I lost, but I have to do it now the hard way. So if you can stop , and say NO now you want have to do it the hard way like I did. So please look around and see what you got before you do this nasty habit? Live drug free !! Pass this on to everyone !! and May God Bless you all like he did me !! Love to all you !!

I think there is a bigger "picture" to what we ALL know about this tragic event.

Hopeless Romantic

POSTED 2 YEARS AGO

Sadly, DJ AM Suffered Depression His Entire Life, He Was Abused As A Child By His Father, He Turned To Food As A Comfort For Years, He Was Obese Aged 10, And By Age 13 Was Addicted To Drugs....

Aged 24 He Tried To Kill Himself, He Put A .24 Into His Mouth And Pulled The Trigger, The Gun Didn't Fire, He Broke Down Thinking He Was Useless And Couldn't Even Kill Himself.

He Survived The Plane Crash Last Year, Suffered Some Pretty Serious Burns Which He Had Skin Grafts For And Was Placed On Pain Killers (which as you should know can trigger an addict to get hooked again)

He was going fine until recently his Girlfriend broke up with him, this happened days before his death....

Sadly It Was A Combined Problem, That Nobody Saw Coming...

DJ AM clearly hated drugs, he had just finished recording a show with MTV which was designed to find trouble youth who were addicted to drugs and alcohol and help them get back on track with their lives...

All I Can Say Is The World Has Lost An Amazing Person, But He Is Free From All His Demons.
