The scene of DJ AM’s death continues to unfold. A new People report claims the celebrity DJ ingested eight OxyContin pills and had a ninth in his mouth when he was found dead.
According to the mag’s law enforcement source, the nine pills suggest that DJ AM – whose real name was Adam Goldstein – took his own life.
“He wanted to die,” the law enforcement source told the mag. “He was going unconscious when he took the last one. He didn’t even swallow it.”
People also reported that a Valentine’s Day card from girlfriend Hayley Wood dated February 14, 2009 and several photographs were found in a room next to DJ AM’s body. The card read, “Thank God you’re in my life. I love you.”
“The card was lying on top of his laptops on the coffee table in the living room,” the source said.
The source also claimed that two mirrors were propped up against the door to the apartment and the door to bedroom where DJ AM was found.
”[He] smoked a lot of crack, barricaded the doors and killed himself,” the source claimed.
DJ AM’s 22-year-old American Apparel model girlfriend previously denied reports of their split, telling Us Weekly, “Any indication that this horribly tragic accident happened because of a rumored breakup is not only untrue but disgusting. We were very much together at the time of his passing, and I love him very much.”
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, sources told Access that authorities found a crack pipe and a bag of crack near DJ AM’s body after breaking the star’s door down, following a 911 call from one of his friends.
Prescription pills were also found in the apartment, sources told Access. DJ AM had recently completed an MTV intervention-style reality series, “Gone Too Far,” just three days before his death. There’s been no word yet from the network on if the DJ’s death has impacted plans to air the series.
The coroner said autopsy tests were inconclusive and DJ AM’s cause of death has yet to be determined.
DJ AM will be buried on Thursday, a source told Access.
