Cops tell us DJ AM -- also known as Adam Goldstein -- was found dead this afternoon in New York City.
Law enforcement sources tell us he was found in his apartment at around 5:20 PM. We're told drug paraphernalia was found at the scene.
We're told DJ AM had not been seen or heard from for a few days -- one of his friends went to check on him, but got no response after knocking on his apartment door.
We're told the friend called the police, who broke down the door and then found DJ AM's body.
This is incredibly, incredibly sad. DJ AM narrowly escaped death a year ago when he and Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker survived a plane crash that killed 4 others. More as this develops.
