Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM, was found dead in his apartment in New York City on August 28 of an apparent overdose. Now a law enforcement source has claimed that 8 Oxycontin pills were found undigested in his stomach and another in his mouth. This suggests that the celebrity deejay swallowed the narcotic painkillers in quick succession, and was already going unconscious by the time he took the last one.This news supports speculation that Goldstein may have committed suicide, however, the official autopsy and toxicology report have not been released as of now. Goldstein had admitted to friends that he had relapsed with his substance abuse problem and agreed to go to treatment not long before he died.
A private memorial for DJ AM is being held tomorrow at L.A's Hollywood Palladium. The invitation to the ceremony states: "The Format of the evening will be in the style of an open 12-step meeting. Adam's friends from his life in recovery, as well as those from other areas of his life are welcome. We ask only that everyone adhere to the tradition of anonymity and let what they hear there, and who they see there, stay there."
