DJ AM DEAD (Guy in the plane with Travis Barker)

DJ AM was found dead tdoay in an apartment on Lafayette Street in Manhattan. He was 36.

Sources said drug paraphernalia was found in the apartment and cops are looking into whether it was an overdose.

Nearly a year ago, DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, escaped a plane crash in South Carolina.

The Learjet he and Travis Barker were on overshot the runway and burst into flames. Four people were killed. He suffered severe burns in the crash.

Barker's ex-wife, Playmate Shanna Moakler, responded to news of DJ AM's death on Twitter, writing, "My deepest condolences for DJ AM, you were a great artist and will be severely missed. My thoughts and Prayers to his family and friends."

DJ AM's last post on Twitter, dated Tuesday, was a line from a Grandmaster Flash song: "New york, New York. Big city of dreams, but everything in New York ain't always what it seems."

He was scheduled to have deejayed at Dusk in Atlantic City Tuesday and then tonight at Rain in Las Vegas.

Among others, DJ AM dated Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore.

WHAT! Oh my god

Heard about this late last night/morning.
Sad really.. surviving a plane crash that killed everyone but him and Travis Barker.. freaky.
But apparently they've found drug paraphernalia in his apartment. Explains it all really.

Oh god, we've gotten to the stage now where peoples last twitter entry is considered relevant in a news article.
