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.'
Sadly it has been reported that John Travolta and Kelly Preston's 16 year old son Jett died while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas. There had been reports stating that Jett suffered from Autism, but the Travolta's denied these accusations claiming that he actually suffered from Kawasaki Disease. Jett's death was caused by a seizure that he had after falling and hitting his head on the bathtub. My deepest condolences go out to the family.
