Today, the autopsy for DJ AM, a.k.a. Adam Goldstein, took place, and the results on how he died will not come for weeks.'How Did DJ AM Die' Question Not Answered Yet But people will ask how DJ AM did die over the next few weeks, and will likely come up with something that has to do with drugs. When DJ AM was found dead, police reportedly found a crack pipe and pills in his apartment, according to the Associated Press. The famed disk jockey had famed battles with drug addiction throughout his adult life, but had appeared to be winning them recently.
In fact, DJ AM was about to host his own MTV intervention show "Gone Too Far" in October, which he promoted at the Television Critics Association this summer. But drugs will be pointed to as the answer to how DJ AM died, at least until autopsy and toxicology results come back. The music world is filled with stars who are killed by their addictions. DJ AM's world consisted of helping people party to popular music. Although he wasn't a singer, his spinning skills allowed him exclusive access to the music world and many of its icons, like Jay-Z and Jennifer Lopez.
Though many will have theories about how DJ AM did die, many are probably surprised that he lasted this long - and not just because of the drugs. He narrowly survived a deadly plane crash that took place almost one year ago, in which four of his friends were killed, but DJ AM survived along with Blink 182's Travis Barker.
DJ AM did not die from the crash, or from his past drug abuse, so it looked like he could survive anything. If it was drugs that killed him, questions will arise as to why he slipped off the wagon again.
