You are probably well aware by now that 36 year old  DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) was found dead in his New York apartment.  I was watching TV last night and saw the headline and could not believe what I was seeing.

TMZ and others are reporting that a crack pipe and prescription drugs were found by his body and that he had been battling post traumatic stress syndrome from his plane crash of a year ago.  People is reporting that he had been very depressed over the split with his girlfriend.  According to a source:

“She ended it, and he didn’t want it to end. The breakup hurt him. He hadn’t been in a good place lately. For the past week, he wasn’t really around, he was keeping to himself, and he was blowing people off,”

He was not blowing off his DJ responsibilities and in fact worked last Friday at Rain Nightclub in Las Vegas, and on Tuesday evening he was in the DJ booth at the Atlantic City club Dusk (he was a part owner of the club).

This was his last posting on Twitter which he wrote on Thursday:

“New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york ain’t always what it seems.”

US Weekly published a number of celebrity reactions on their own Twitter pages:
