Days after Adam Goldstein was found dead in his Manhattan apartment, details are being released on his last hours alive and how he was found. A police source tells People magazine that Goldstein, known to fans as DJ AM, sent his last text message to two unnamed friend at 1 a.m. on Friday, the day he was later discovered dead.
Goldstein, 36, texted the friends about his scheduled performance in Las Vegas later that night. Around 5 p.m. a friend called 911 because Goldstein was not answering his cell phone and failed to arrive for his flight to Las Vegas.
NYPD officers broke down the door to Goldstein’s apartment and found his lifeless body in bed. A crack pipe was lying nearby. A bag of crack cocaine and prescription drugs were also found in the apartment.
Goldstein recently wrapped up filming his MTV reality show Gone Too Far, in which he helps drug addicts get sober. While promoting the show, the 36-year-old claimed he had been off of drugs for 11 1/2 years.
An autopsy was performed Saturday, but was ruled inconclusive. The New York Medical Examiner’s office said more tests, including toxicology testing, are being done.
“The cause of death was inconclusive because we need to do additional testing. The testing would include toxicology and tissue testing. We don’t expect any results for several weeks,” NYC medical examiner spokesperson Ellen Borakove said. “It's under investigation and when the investigation is complete we will have a cause of death and a manner of death.”
