Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in a New York City apartment on Friday night. He was 36 years old. According to Yahoo News

Friends reportedly went to check on the celebrity DJ after not hearing from him for several days, but contacted authorities when they could not get a response after knocking on his door on Friday. Around 5:24 PM local time, authorities responded to a call at 210 Lafayette Street, following a 911 call of a 'possible unconscious male.' After arriving at the residence, authorities discovered a 36-year-old white male 'unconscious and unresponsive.' Paramedics also arrived on the scene and declared the male dead on arrival. Foul play is not suspected at this time and a medical examiner will determine the cause of death.

TMZ adds:

Law enforcement sources [say] when they found the body of DJ AM, a bag of crack was found around his groin area… and a glass 'crack pipe' was found in his bedroom. The pill bottles were found in the kitchen.

And People Magazine says

Within the past few weeks, Goldstein, 36, split with model Hayley Wood, and the situation had left him an emotional wreck.

'She ended it, and he didn't want it to end. The breakup hurt him. He hadn't been in a good place lately. For the past week, he wasn't really around, he was keeping to himself, and he was blowing people off,' says [a] source.

On Thursday, he Tweeted a lyric from Grandmaster Flash: 'New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york ain't always what it seems.'

I think we could all do well to remember the words of my husband when I told him Adam had died. He said, 'Who the fuck is ‘DJ AM'? Was that the fat one from Salt ‘n' Pepa? That bitch was nasty.' And sign of the cross… amen.
