Details of DJ AM's Final Day Emerge

Adam Goldstein text messaged friends before death; Mandy Moore 'heartbroken'

Share

(Newser) – Details of DJ AM’s final hours are beginning to come together, and police sources tell People he sent out his last text message at 1am the day he died. Two friends received the message, about his gig in Las Vegas that night—and 16 hours later, a friend called 911 after Goldstein failed to answer his phone or leave for his scheduled flight.

Meanwhile, celebrity remembrances continue to pour in, including one from ex-girlfriend Mandy Moore. “I am absolutely heartbroken,” she tells Us in a statement. “For those of us lucky enough to have known him, Adam radiated a contagious exuberance for life and also personified the very definition of a true friend. To say that he will be missed beyond words is an understatement. My heart goes out to his loved ones.”

It really is akin to "do the crime, do the time." Abusing anything, especially drugs you are in a "world of hurt." In many cases you DIE!!! What do these dopers not understand?? Sorry little or no sympathy here. Could we have some real news please?? Reply

I said it less than a minute ago, and I'm going to say it again. "Shut your Trap." I know enough about you to know when you die there will be absolutely no "real news." Find some compassion and grow the fuck up.

yeah we get it... you're not the first to point this out. Nobody is asking for your sympathy though... The guy is still dead, and his family and friends are the ones hurt. They're not the ones who did drugs, and I doubt they are confused about how he passed after taking drugs. Also, for this not being 'real news' you sure found it necessary to put in your half-witted 2 cents. FYI I'm wouldn't know this guy's music from anyone else's, so spare me the "super fan apologist" post. Reply
