DJ AM's Death Ruled Accidental Drug Overdose NEW YORK (AP) - The New York City medical examiner's office says DJ AM's death was accidental. It blames a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs and cocaine.

The toxicology report released Tuesday shows the 36-year-old had cocaine, OxyContin, Benadryl and another drug used to cut cocaine in his system.

The medical examiner says the death was acute intoxication.

The celebrity, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, was found Aug. 28 in his apartment in New York City's trendy SoHo neighborhood after a friend called 911. Paramedics had to break down the door before they found him, shirtless and wearing sweat pants, in his bed around 5:20 p.m.

A crack pipe and prescription pill bottles were discovered scattered around the apartment.
