NEW YORK – A law enforcement official says the celebrity disc jockey known as DJ AM has been found dead in a New York City apartment.

The official tells The Associated Press that 36-year-old Adam Goldstein was found in the Manhattan apartment this evening. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because family hadn’t been notified.

The death comes a year after Goldstein survived a plane crash that killed four other people in South Carolina.

Goldstein was a deejay for hire who performed at Hollywood’s most exclusive parties. He was also known for relationships with Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore.
