One of the worse parts of having a full-time day job that has absolutely nothing to do with my blogging, is that I can’t always get posts up right when the news breaks.
Such was the case today with the news of DJ AM’s death. So, instead of pretending I was one of the first sites to report the shocking news, I’ll just leave the job of filling you in on the details to some of the folks in my Gossip Posse who were able to beat me to the punch.
But before I do that, I do want to say that the instant I heard there could be prescription medication involved in DJ AM’s death, I just about flew into a tizzy.
What the hell is going on?? Have prescription drugs become to the 2000s what cocaine was to the 1980s? It seems every few weeks over the last couple of years a celebrity has died and prescription drugs were somehow involved. It’s getting really scary.

This is so terribly tragic and sad not to mention unnecessary. Tonight, I read up on DJ AM’s death. There is a theory floating around that imply Adam Goldstein committed suicide.
Eight undigested Oxycontin pills in his stomach and a ninth pill still in his mouth. It sounds quite plausible to me he wanted to die. How sad. I had no clue he was fighting such inner demons. My thoughts and condolences to his family and loved ones. Rest In Peace, Adam.
On a side note: I wonder how or what Nicole Richie is feeling? I hope she’s doing okay.

“The finding suggests that DJ AM — real name Adam Goldstein — swallowed the powerful painkillers quickly. “He wanted to die,” says the source, who says the suicide theory is supported by the pills and other evidence. “He was going unconscious when he took the last one. He didn’t even swallow it.”
