"Cops tell us DJ AM -- also known as Adam Goldstein -- was found dead this morning in New York City.

 

The NYPD tells us he was found in his apartment at around 7 AM.

 

Sources tell TMZ DJ AM had not been seen or heard from him for a few days. This morning, one of his friends went to check on him, but got no response when after knocking on his apartment door.

 

We're told the friend called the police, who broke down the door and found DJ AM's body.

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. 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."

Some DJ who escaped a plane crash about a year about and now he's dead. I don't really care about him, I just think it's really weird.

It's like Final Destination

Was that the guy from the Travis Barker plane crash?

^ Yeah.

Damn that sucks. Survive a plane crash and then die a year later (probably from a drug OD).
