I am devastated by the loss of AJ. His death comes on the heels of the death of my beloved Uncle Ralph and with both of them gone, my heart is heavy with grief.

I had spoken to AJ two hours before I got the call that he was in the hospital. Never in a thousand years did I think it was going to be the last time I heard his voice. He was taken way too soon. There are so many things that I should have said to him, wanted to say to him… But now it’s too late.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of my family and friends — and that means my twitter and facebook friends as well — for the beautiful words of encouragement, prayers, and the sweet condolences.

I make it through these difficult days because of you. I know this is clich?’ but I urge everyone to treat each day as if it’s your last and tell that special someone you love them today. Don’t wait. It may be too late. Please pray for his children, his family and Riley – they too are grieving the loss of an incredible man, son, brother and father.

I wish you all had gotten to know the AJ we all knew and loved.

Today (September 29) late deejay Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein‘s cause of death for has been ruled an accidental result of “acute intoxication” from various drugs.

According to a release from the New York City Medical Examiner, AM DID NOT commit suicide as early reports predicted.

The M.E. says the cause of death is “acute intoxication” due to the combined effects of cocaine, oxycodone, hydrocodone (Vicodin), Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Benadryl and Levamisole (a drug used to cut cocaine with). The manner of death is listed as “accident (substance abuse).” (TMZ)

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)

*MTV has decided to keep the late deejay’s “Gone Too Far” drug intervention reality series on schedule to premiere next month.

MTV intends to air DJ AM’s drug-intervention reality series that was shot just before he died. The status of “Gone Too Far” has been in question since DJ AM was found dead last month in his New York apartment. Although a toxicology report has not been released, preliminary findings suggest he died from a drug overdose. MTV, which declined to comment, has not made a final decision on whether to air the series, but sources say the network expects to air the program and has been in talks with Goldstein’s family about the timing.
