Mourning The Passing Of DJ AM





After the sudden passing of Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein Friday afternoon on August 28,2009 in his Soho apartment in New York City. Shock spread throughout L.A when we heard the news. DJ AM had been settling in a more stable life, he was dating at the time of death model Hayley Wood. After DJ AM and close friend Travis Barker the drummer from "Blink-182" survived their near death experience last year in September, when their plane crashed in South Carolina killing 4 others onboard. Unfortunately, this wasn't his first brush with death; back in his early 20's he attempted suicide unsuccessfully when his gun malfunctioned. Now he has succeeded in what he had failed before, after the toxicology came back this week DJ AM died of an overdose of 9 Oxycontin pills found in his system and also found empty bags of crack cocaine underneath his body, he was only 36 years old.

At the time of his death he was working on an MTV show about drug addiction scheduled to debut in October. We will have to wait and see if MTV will air the show as a tribute to DJ AM, dedicating his final project to his family, friends, and fans that truly will miss this talented man.

This seriously funny, smart comedy will have you on the edge of your seat. Written and Directed by Mike Judge, who has truly captured this year best film. Films like this one make you think, and with an amazing cast, you can't help but to fall in love with all the characters. I can't wait to see it again and again.
