We can't express how saddened we are to learn that DJ AM passed away from a suspected drug overdose last Friday. The world has lost a great talent, a great friend, and a great role model. Although nothing has been confirmed, sources speculate that the recovered drug addict fell back into bad habits following a bad break-up, in addition to stress caused by his brush with death after surviving a plane crash last fall.

What makes his death even more bittersweet is the fact that he was working on a project with MTV to provide hope and help for current addicts who wish to break free of using. Here is a video in which DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) talks about the project, called Gone Too Far:


This eerie interview took place just a month before his untimely death. This goes to show you just how very serious a problem substance abuse is. Please don't toy with your health and your future, steer clear of drugs. If you are currently struggling with addiction, you are not alone, and there are ways out. Find help here.

So he was a hypocrite.
He's obviously not that great of a role model if he got back into drugs

Supersponge,

Addicts are the best people to help other people struggling with addiction, Because they themselves are going through it or have gone through it.

Most addict counselors are Addicts.

its a shame that AM did not get the help he was giving others .

Don't call him a hypocrite he was obviously trying to Stop doing drugs, he was just not strong enough

maybe it was too much for him to help other addicts and see them in that state..it probably made him want to do it himself and he broke down. It's sick and sad ! He was probably gone for a couple of days before anyone found him,& since he broke down and did it after all those yrs he said he was sober he probably didn't want to face the music and just ended his life instead of fighting the long battle to get sober again

@Victor, your 100% right...
Adam had been clean for 9 years, he was so proud of it, and after the plane crash was put on pain killers, which can trigger a relapse... sadly it did, and it killed him...

I read about that. It's a real shame. I am actually hoping that the show will still air otherwise, his work will have been done in vain.
