DJ AM agreed to go to rehab the day before his death

DJAMsbo_James_58194472_600 DJ AM met with his recovery sponsor the day before his death and admitted that that had relapsed. 

He also agreed to go to back to rehab.

Sadly, he never made it.

Insiders told investigators that his West Coast manager and recovery sponsor flew to NYC to see DJ AM to find out what was causing his erratic behavior.

 When they got to his apartment, DJ AM would only  let his sponsor inside.

According to Perez Hilton,  DJ AM "lit up a crack pipe and popped pills" right in front of him.

Adam Goldstein (his real name) promised his manager and sponsor that after his gig in Las Vegas last Friday, he would check himself into a rehab in California.

 But he missed that performance and was found dead in his NY apartment the next day.

The cause of death won't be determined for several weeks when toxicology reports come back.

All we can hope is that his shocking death will remind other recovering addicts that relapsing is the highway to the morgue.

Plagued by his own demons and having cheated death once before, I am saddened that he succumbed to his drug addiction. Let this be a lesson to his celebrity friends who are still struggling with their sobriety.

When Adam put a gun in his mouth, but the gun misfired, it wasn't his time.

The fiery plane crash that took the lives of 4 others on September 19, 2008 wasn't his time either.

Third times the charmer?

When it's your time, it's your time?

Sadly; had he not dabbled in crack again, his time here wouldn't have been up.

A lesson to be learned to all.

RIP DJ AM

This is so sad...He seemed like a very good man. He has had alot of things go wrong in his life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and his girlfriend poor girl. There has been alot of negative things said about her. She is dealing with a death of someone she loved.

The photo for this story is offensive. Please LA TIME have some repsect for the man's fmaily and friends.

Absolutely sickening.
