First, in case you don't know who DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) is, he's this guy, Nicole Richie's ex-boyfriend, moderately famous club owner and DJ.
Last year he and Travis Barker, the tattooed up little freak of a drummer for Blink-182 and reality TV douche from the show "Meet the Barkers", crashed in a private Learjet on 9/19/08 (timing is everything people) near Columbia South Carolina. The crash occurred due to poor maintenance and operation, as described in the lawsuit against Goodyear Tire and the company that was maintaining the plane.
The tires were screwed up and no one noticed. Makes you feel really good about air travel.
In any case, the plane slide off the runway, crashed into an embankment and burned to the frigging ground. Travis and DJ AM managed to escape with their lives, a little burned up, but the other four people were crisped. I have to admit, prior to the aforementioned accident I had no idea who DJ AM was.
DJ AM's injuries were substantially worst than Barker's who spent only a few days in the hospital with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his hands. DJ AM was in the hospital far longer. Dealing with the loss of friends and colleagues in the crash DJ AM, had to fight the urge to drown his pain (physical and emotional) with the prescription pain killer of choice for all the idiots in the Hollywood, OxyCotin.
According to reports DJ AM had been clean for a few years after kicking a serious crack habit and had lost over 60 pounds, but DEATH WILL NOT BE CHEATED
Death let DJ AM slip away the first time when he lost the weight and then again when he kicked crack, then yet again in the plane crash but he knew the old standard of over-dose was an easy way to get DJ AM and on August 28th Death got him. Still worse, Death may have been handing him the pills. They found 8 undigested OxyCotins in his stomach and one in his mouth.
It is unfortunate, but I smell the makings of a new reality TV show. "Death Stalks the Barkers".
Travis has got to be nervous.
