Sep 29 2009DJ AM overdosed (In case there were doubts.)
DJ AM's death has been ruled an accidental drug overdose by the New York medical examiner's office, according to the AP:
The toxicology report showed the 36-year-old had in his system cocaine, OxyContin, Hydrocodone or Vicodin, antianxiety drugs Xanax and Ativan, Klonopin which also controls anger, Benadryl, and Levamisole, a drug apparently used to cut cocaine.
The cause of death was acute intoxication due to the combined effects the drugs, the medical examiner's office said. The dosage of each drug was not released.
He was found Aug. 28 in his apartment in New York City's trendy SoHo neighborhood after a friend called 911. Paramedics had to break down the door before they found him, shirtless and wearing sweat pants, in his bed around 5:20 p.m.
Six pills were found in his stomach and a pill in his throat when he was found dead in his apartment. The pill in his throat appeared to be OxyContin. A crack pipe and prescription pill bottles were discovered there.
No one's saying if it was a suicide, but I don't really know what a person expects to happen after shoving that many drugs in their face. For example, if I went out back and chugged a can of Raid, that's not so much accidental as a purposeful act of self-inflicted dumb. So if somebody could maybe change that on the death certificate...

Sep 2 2009DJ AM ate way too much OxyContin
DJ AM's death is starting to look more like a drug-fueled suicide. Reports are coming in that he had a stomach full of OxyContin, according to People:
Authorities investigating the death of DJ AM have found that he had eight undigested OxyContin pills in his stomach and a ninth in his mouth, a law enforcement source tells PEOPLE.
The finding suggests that DJ AM - real name Adam Goldstein - swallowed the powerful painkillers quickly. "He wanted to die," says the source, who says the suicide theory is supported by the pills and other evidence. "He was going unconscious when he took the last one. He didn't even swallow it."
In addition to the OxyContin, the source says, authorities who entered Goldstein's New York apartment Aug. 28 found a Valentine's Day card in the next room from Haley Wood. The pair had recently split. Dated Feb. 14, 2009, the card read, "Thank God you're in my life. I love you." Next to the card were six or seven photos of Wood and Goldstein.
"The card was lying on top of his laptops on the coffee table in the living room," the source says.
All this would make sense except Haley Wood informed Us Weekly that she never broke up with DJ AM and the two were still together:
"Any indication that this horribly tragic accident happened because of a rumored breakup is not only untrue but disgusting. We were very much together at the time of his passing, and I love him very much."
Well, if she didn't break up with DJ AM then why did he kill hims- oh, wait. Dammit, Olsen twins...
Aug 30 2009DJ AM had crack on him
With the autopsy report coming back as inconclusive pending a toxicology report, the police reportedly found crack in DJ AM's pocket after finding him dead along with a pipe near his body, according to RadarOnline:
Police first entered the 36-year-old's $2 million SoHo apartment at 5:23 PM Friday after worried friends had tried unsuccessfully to reach him. Police and emergency medical workers discovered his lifeless body on top of his bed. A glass crack pipe was found nearby.
"It wasn't until a while later when police actually found the bag of crack," said the NYPD source. "It wasn't discovered until his body was moved for the first time. The bag of crack was in the groin area inside the sweat pants he was wearing." In other new details, the source says police found more than a dozen bottles of prescription pills in the kitchen of his seven-floor Lafayette Street apartment. "Xanax and the painkiller Vicodin were among the pills found," said the source.
The police have also confirmed DJ AM was alive as early as Friday morning and wasn't dead in his apartment for days:
The time of death has not yet been officially announced but RadarOnline.com has also learned that AM was still alive at least into the early hours of Friday morning because they have discovered some IMs sent from him as late as 1 a.m. "He was alive Thursday night and into early Friday morning from the time of these texts," said the source. "He was texting an unidentified individual as late as 1 a.m."
It is unknown at this time if the messages were to his ex-girlfriend.
Reports are coming in that DJ AM was distraught over his girlfriend of a few months breaking up with him which makes no fucking sense. Listen, I don't want to rag on the guy, but after seeing four people you know burn to a crisp as you escape death, OD-ing because some girl doesn't like you is unbelievably weak. Not only that, the dude was rich and could've easily taken a month, or even a year, off to hire a hot therapist who'll also fellate you while you play video games. I could've been molested by a clown as a child, and a week of Dr. BJ would have me high-fiving Ronald McDonald. That's all I'm saying.
Aug 28 2009DJ AM found dead
Less than a year after narrowly surviving a fiery plane crash, DJ AM was found dead this afternoon in his New York apartment. A drug overdose is believed to be the cause. TMZ reports:
Law enforcement sources tell us he was found in his apartment at around 5:20 PM. We're told drug paraphernalia was found at the scene.
We're told DJ AM had not been seen or heard from for a few days -- one of his friends went to check on him, but got no response after knocking on his apartment door.
We're told the friend called the police, who broke down the door and then found DJ AM's body.
Way to make the most of a second chance at life. Well played.

Neighbors heard the two breaking glass and flipping the lesbian fuck out on each other right before Sam went into the hospital this weekend. I'm not pointing any fingers, but methinks the problem is someone refusing to eat at the Y. That said, who wants to be the one to tell Sam it's really not on fire? [TMZ]

Nov 24 2008Travis Barker on lawsuit: 'If something goes wrong... you should be compensated.'
Travis Barker spoke out last night about the lawsuit he filed against the owners and makers of the Learjet that he barely escaped from when it crashed in September. E! News reports:
"I wouldn't have been in the state I was in if I wasn't in the crash," said Barker, who spoke Sunday while at the Miss California USA event with Shanna Moakler. "I wouldn't have third-degree burns all over my body or be prohibited to do certain things. I can't go swimming. I can't do some of the things that normal people can do. I didn't ask for that to happen."
The drummer says he doesn't know if he'll win his lawsuit.
"I don't know. I just think positive. I mean, I think so—if something goes wrong that's not supposed to go wrong or you fall victim of it, I think you should be compensated."
DJ AM who also survived the fiery crash is not part of the lawsuit, according to Travis, "I can't speak for him—I think everyone just has different attorneys." Which means DJ AM's lawyers used the old legal maneuver of "let the jackass go first." Congratulations, Travis Barker, you're a guinea pig. And did I mention jackass?
