Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein
Only days after Ryan Jenkins, reality TV star on VH1, was found dead after being a suspect in the murder of his wife, DJ AM was found dead in his NYC apartment Friday morning.
Police said that drug paraphernalia was found at the scene. The popular musician struggled with drug addiction for many years. Ironically, he survived a plane crash last year.
“There’s no reason why I should have lived or why I lived and they didn’t. But I am alive and I’m here and I have to do something better with my life now… I struggled for years as a drug addict and was fortunate to get help when I asked for it. I have managed to live a clean and sober life, something that takes work and something that I pride myself on. ‘Gone Too Far’ is my platform to help people, like I was helped – by giving back in a way”, DJ AM said during the press tour.
Adam ‘DJ AM’ Goldstein, 36, had an upcoming reality show on MTV similar to A&E’s ‘Intervention’ called ‘Gone Too Far’ that showed young adults struggling with substance abuse. The show is currently set to premiere Monday, October 5th. MTV has eight episodes in the can, but it is unclear whether or not the series will air.
MTV issued a statement regarding Goldstein’s death:
Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein’s death is an incredible loss to the music community, his friends, family and his fans, and those of us who had the privilege of working with him. MTV was honored to support him as he helped young people battle their own addictions. Our heartfelt thoughts go out to his family.
