Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM, was found dead at 36 years old in his New York apartment on Friday, TMZ reports. The NYPD confirmed his death, after a source said he hadn't been heard from in several days. The Daily News reports that police discovered DJ AM on his stomach with a near-empty bag of crack stuck to his chest. A glass crack pipe and seven bottles of prescription pills like Xanax, were found at the scene, the Daily News reports. In 2008, Goldstein survived a plane crash with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The four other passengers died. Goldstein battled drug addiction and obesity as a teen, and was set to star in a MTV show about interventions.
