Did Plane Crash Lead To Death For DJ AM?
Friday, November 13th, 2009
At the time of his tragic death, DJ AM was suing several companies involved in the horrific 2008 plane crash that left him badly burned. Two months after the DJ, who was born Adam Goldstein, died from an overdose of drugs, his estate has added a charge of wrongful death to the suit, claiming “the crash ultimately caused Adam Goldstein’s death.”
TMZ reports the estate is suing Clay Lacy Aviation, the travel service, Goodyear Tire, Learjet and the estates of the two pilots killed in the crash. Goldstein had kicked his drug habit a decade ago, but painful burns from the crash caused him to take prescription meds, which led him back into addiction. DJ AM also developed a fear of flying that required anti-anxiety drugs to allow him to fly for business.

DJ AM’s Death Ruled Accidental
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
The toxicology report for Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM, has been released and showed that the 36-year-old died from an accidental overdose. The AP reports drugs found in his system included cocaine, OxyContin, Hydrocodone or Vicodin, anti-anxiety drugs Xanax and Ativan, Klonopin, Benadryl, and Levamisole.
When the DJ’s body was found in his SoHo apartment on August 28, a crack pipe and numerous prescription bottles were discovered on the premises. Goldstein had overcome childhood obesity and drug addiction, and had a decade of sobriety under his belt before being badly burned in a 2008 plane crash.
Did the pain and anti-anxiety meds he was given after the accident push DJ AM back into drug abuse? His friends will be left to wonder, but at least they have the small comfort that his tragic death was an accident rather than suicide.
