According to the NYC Medical Examiner, the cause in the death of DJ AM was ruled as accidental due to substance abuse.

The results of the autopsy showed "acute intoxication" due to the combination of cocaine, oxycodone, Vicodin, Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Benadryl and Levamisole (a drug commonly used to cut cocaine).

So sad.

Before his sudden and tragic death, DJ AM worked on a drug-intervention show with MTV called Gone Too Far. The production team was able to capture enough footage for the making of eight episodes and the network intends to show them.

At the moment, the production heads are in talks with DJ AM's family about how and when to show the episodes. It is suggested that because the show follows DJ AM, born Adam Goldstein, in the role of a "sober and experienced tough-love guide for troubled addicts" and the strong implications that his own death resulted from drug abuse, that the show would come off as " hypocritical or exploitative."

On the other hand, the show could send a strong anti-drug message by showcasing the strong, focused man DJ AM was without the drugs.

In a way, we think it would be nice tribute to him as he obviously had a stance to help others overcome their addictions.

Will U watch his reality show?

Why would someone release this bit of information now?

According to Star Magazine, Paris Hilton had a one-night fling with DJ AM after getting cozy at the Toronto International Film Festival party in September 2007.

Although the deejay was formerly engaged to best friend Nicole Richie, they claim that didn't stop the heiress!

"They got more and more affectionate as the night went on, until they were all over each other. There was no doubt she wanted him," claims an eyewitness.

It's reported that the pair retreated to the same hotel room and did not reemerge until the next morning!

Yet, a rep for Paris tells PerezHilton.com that the story is completely untrue.

And although Paris might be considered a wild party girl, she's not one to cheat and DJ AM was definitely too nice of a guy to do so either.

Before he died, DJ AM had secured a deal with shoe-wear empire, Nike, for a special line of sneakers. That merchandise has now been put on hold, for the time being.

The shoes are said to be a limited edition release of Nike Dunks, with DJ AM's personal logo embroidered on it. The company says that they are currently speaking with the family to figure out the "next step in terms of release".

We're sure it will go through as Nike sneakers were something DJ AM was very passionate about - he had around 700 pairs!

We think it would be a nice tribute to him.

As we previously reported, a private memorial service for DJ AM will be held at the Hollywood Palladium on tonight at 7pm, but there may be a chance for fans who want to pay their respects to the beloved Adam Goldstein.

Organizers tell us they may open the event up to the public.

Those who want to attend can line up on Sunset Blvd beginning at 6pm and once all invited guests are accounted for, members of the public will be allowed in depending on the amount of space available.

We're sure he would have wanted that as we know how much he appreciated his fans.

DJ AM (born Adam Goldstein) will have a private memorial service slated for Thursday at the Hollywood Palladium nightclub, a venue he was known to rock in his day.

The event is said to pay tribute to the DJ's struggle with drug addiction by following a format in the style of "an open 12-step meeting."

The invitation asks of it's guests:

"Adam's friends both from his life in recovery, as well as those from other areas of his life are welcome. We ask only that everyone adhere to the tradition of anonymity and let what they hear there, and who they see there, stay there."

We're sure that it will be a special tribute to him.

The usually reputable and reliable People Magazine, is reporting, that DJ AM (aka Adam Goldstein) may have deliberately tried to kill himself. The suicide theory is based off the findings of the officers on the scene.

When DJ AM was found in his apartment, he had eight undigested OxyContin pills in his stomach and a ninth in his mouth. The one unswallowed pill suggests that he was taking the pills quickly, too quickly for his body to be able to handle. Also, directly next to his body, investigators found a crack pipe. When his body was shifted, crack was found underneath him.

Along with drugs, DJ AM had propped a mirror against the front door of the apartment along with the door to his bedroom, making it more difficult for officials to get to him. He also had several personal items scattered out in the open near his body, including photos and love notes from his girlfriend, Haley Wood. The two had recently split up and when DJ AM was found, close to his person was a Valentine's Day card that read: "Thank God you're in my life. I love you."

A law enforcement source reveals that this type of evidence could be linked to a suicide attempt, though at the moment, without any autopsy or toxicology results, it is still being treated as an accidental overdose.

No matter which way it turns out being, it is sad for it to have happened either way.

Tragic and unnecessary.
