DJ AM was found dead in New York City apartment on Friday — and with prescription bottles and makeshift crack pipe found strewn near his body, the 36-year-old celebrity spinner is believed to have died of a drug overdose.

If toxicology tests confirm that drugs led to his death, it would mark the end of a decade-long battle against addiction for the DJ born Adam Goldstein.

At the time of his death, the star had just finished shooting a MTV reality series called Gone Too Far — a unscripted docudrama about helping young addicts on the road to recovery. The network is now deciding whether or not to air the show in the wake of Goldstein’s death.

“I got so lost in my disease,” he told MTV News in his final interview with the network on July 29, 2009.

“The inspiration for the show is that I am a recovering drug addict, 11 years sober,” Goldstein explained.

“One of the first shots that we did for the show, I was researching this girl Gina, where she buys – and I walked into the bodega right near her house and bought a crack pipe. That was my drug of choice,” he explained. “I walked out and I’m holding it and I just wanted to show how easy it was – and then I realized my palms were sweaty and I was like, wait a minute, this is not smart for me to be holding this. It’s been tough.”
