Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein's death has been ruled an accidental drug overdose.
The New York City Medical Examiner's office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said,
"We've done the testing and investigation in conjunction with the NYPD and in our opinion this was an accidental overdose rather than suicide."
Adam was found in the bedroom of his New York City apartment on Aug. 28.
The drugs in his system included cocaine (she could not specify whether it was crack cocaine or powder cocaine), Levamisole (an drug commonly used to cut cocaine), oxycodone (the active ingredient in OxyContin), hydrocodone (a powerful pain reliever), and Ativan, Klonapin and Xanax, all anti-anxiety drugs. Borakove could not say whether Goldstein held a prescription for any of the drugs in his system.
I don't get it. I don't understand how you take SO many drugs and you don't know that you may off yourself in the process, especially when "eight OxyContin pills" are found in one's stomach and a ninth was found in DJ's mouth. A crack pipe was also found near his body. I think that the examiner's office doesn't wanna say it was suicide, but when you mix that many narcotics together in a short span of time, that doesn't sound very accidental to me. Just my opinion.
RIP, Adam.

I agree, Firecracker. I don't think this was an accidental death at all.

@ Lola,
I think they want DJ AM to be remembered for more than his death, but this sounds too suspicious.
I felt bad saying that I don't think it's an accidental overdose, so thanks for chiming in. :)
