 Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ Am, passed away on August 28th, but the details surrounding his death are still uncertain. It was first reported that Goldstein died of an accidental overdose - now different reports suggest he may have committed suicide. Eight undigested OxyContin pills were found in his body, and a ninth still in his mouth. Also, crack paraphernalia was found near his body. Although the funeral plans haven’t yet been made public, Adam’s body has been released and is reported to be heading to California to be buried there. His mother, Andrea, lives in Los Angeles. Speculation suggests that the funeral will take place in California later this week. Goldstein, who once gave Nicole Richie an engagement ring, was said to be devastated about the recent break up with his girlfriend, Hayley Wood. Sources say that authorities who entered Goldstein's New York apartment found a Valentine's Day card in the next room from Haley Wood. Beside the card were six or seven photos of Wood and Goldstein. Goldstein and good friend Travis Barker, of pop-punk band Blink 182, were involved in a serious plane crash less than a year ago. The accident left four dead. The duo barely escaped by sliding down the wing of the fallen plane. They were both in critical condition after surviving the crash. Blink 182 pulled out of a few gig scheduled this week.In a statement given on their website, the band said that it would reschedule shows set for this week "for Travis Barker to mourn the loss of his dear friend Adam Goldstein." DJ AM, who has had a difficult battle with addiction through the years, recently relapsed, possibly due to the trauma of the plane crash. Whatever the cause of death may be, DJ AM will be severely missed.
