Adam Goldstein, a/k/a DJ AM, had admitted to relapsing and agreed to go to rehab the day before he was found dead, according to the New York Post,
Goldstein had apparently been acting erratically and missed appointments in the weeks before his death, and his rep confirmed to People that his West Coast manager and an AA sponsor flew to New York as soon as they heard he had relapsed. According to the Post, the two visited Goldstein on Thursday morning. Goldstein supposedly agreed to check himself into a rehab clinic after making a scheduled appearance at the Palms Casino that Friday.
It was inititally reported that Goldstein's girlfriend, 22-year-old Hayley Wood, had broken up with him shortly before his death--claims Wood is now denying. In a statement released to Us , Wood said "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."
Meanwhile, the fate of Goldstein's MTV reality show "Gone Too Far," in which he helped young addicts get clean, is up in the air. Goldstein's rep told CNN that no plans have been made for the show.
Goldstein, a former crack addict who had allegedly been sober for 11 years, admitted to MTV that he was shaken by an episode of "Gone Too Far" in which he purchased a crack pipe to show how easy it was to procure. In the same interview, however, he told the network that he felt compelled to help others get sober. "This is my one chance. I owe it as a human who's sober to say something to them," Goldstein said. "So that's my job. That's what I'm there for."
