A month after DJ AM's untimely death, New York City's medical examiner has announced that the cause of death was an accidental overdose. Toxicology tests showed that the celebrity DJ, born Adam Goldstein, died from acute intoxication caused by a combination of prescription drugs and cocaine. The report lists painkillers OxyContin and Vicodin; anti-anxiety medications Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax; antihistamine Benadryl; and cocaine cut with Levamisole as present in his system when he was found dead in his apartment last month. Several prescription pill bottles and a crack pipe were also found in the apartment.
Goldstein survived a plane crash last year, along with friend Travis Barker, and was reportedly taking the anti-anxiety medication to treat his resulting fear of flying. Goldstein had also suffered from addiction problems in the past, and even took part in a drug intervention TV show before his death, which MTV is still planning to air.
