Very sad news!! Last night, celebrity DJ AM was found dead inside his Manhattan apartment. He was found lying in bed wearing sweatpants – and with a crack pipe and at least seven bottles of prescription drugs on his kitchen counter, including the anti-anxiety drug Xanax.

Word on the street is that he died from a drug overdose … and that they found his body in a VERY compromising position. DJ AM just survied a Plane Crash from a year ago, and was suing the company. Word is not known if foul play will come into play.

DJ AM is probably best known for dating celebrity socialite Nicole Richie and for surviving a near-death plane crash with rocker Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182.
