DJ AM had six prescription pills in his stomach and one in his throat when he was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in his apartment, an official tells the Associated Press. The pills appear to be powerful painkiller OxyContin, according to the unnamed official. Look back at DJ AM's life in photos. A preliminary autopsy on the 36 year old (real name:Adam Goldstein) came up as inconclusive, according to the Medical Examiner's Office. Toxicology reports are still pending. Goldstein was found face down on his bed inside his $2 million NYC apartment Sept. 28. A crack pipe and prescription pill bottles were also discovered near his shirtless body. There was no evidence of foul play. See pics of stars gone too soon. Goldstein has openly discussed his battle with crack cocaine, Ecstasy, but said he was sober for 11 years. He was set to star in an Intervention-type MTV reality show called Gone Too Far this fall. A memorial "in the format of a 12-step meeting" for Goldstein will be held at the Hollywood Palladium Thursday.

4What a sad situation. I feel bad for the families of those that lost their loved ones in the plane crash that DJ AM was blessed enough to survive. He over came obesity many years ago also. He had plenty to live for and be thankful for...and it's just so sad he chose to end his life.
August 28th, not September 28th.

What a shame, he was given the gift of life after the plane crash, now this. So sad for his family, can you only imagine what the roller coaster ride for them as been like? God Bless them.
