Initial reports stated the deejay passed away from a drug overdose.
“He wanted to die,” says a police source, who says the suicide theory is supported by the pills and other evidence. “He was going unconscious when he took the last one. He didn’t even swallow it. Also, a mirror was propped inside the door to the apartment and another inside the door of the bedroom, where Goldstein’s body was located in the bed, the source says. When the police, Goldstein’s manager and paramedics entered together, they pushed the first mirror to the side. When they entered the bedroom, the mirror propped against the door shattered. “They pushed it open and it broke,” the source says. (People Magazine)
