DJ AM was found dead Friday in his New York City apartment, according to TMZ. He was 36. According to police, DJ AM -- real name Adam Goldstein -- was found in his apartment at around 5:20PM. Drug paraphernalia was reportedly found at the scene.
According to TMZ, friends called police when Goldstein had not been heard from in a couple of days and knocking on his apartment door yielded no response. In September of 2008, DJ AM and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker were critically injured but survived a plane crash in South Carolina that killed four others. The last post on DJ AM's Twitter, published Aug. 25, read: "New York, New York. Big city of dreams, but everything in New York ain't always what it seems."That line is taken from Grandmaster Flash's song 'New York New York.'
