DJ AM scheduled to enter rehab the day of his death, which now points again toward suicide

More sad details are emerging on the untimely death of DJ AM late on Friday.

NYPD detectives have confirmed the New York club star had admitted to friends that he suffered a relapse, and had promised he would check into rehab the very same day that  crack may have taken his life.

The revelations emerged yesterday as friends helped the NYPD give reporters an outline of DJ’s final hours. They recalled how DJ — real name, Adam Goldstein — had been behaving strangely for weeks and missing appointments, and this worried both his manager and his rehab sponsor so much, they flew across county to have a showdown.

When the pair arrived at  Adam’s apartment early Thursday, he refused to see his manager. But his sponsor for rehab was allowed to come in. Then, right in front of the guy who had saved him, Goldstein smoked up a crack pipe and also took pills.

Before the two left, Adam promised he’d check into rehab the following night, once he’d done an important gig at ‘The Palms’ in Las Vegas. But he missed the flight and didn’t answer his phones – and that’s when his friends called the cops.

But when police gained entry to Adam’s upscale apartment they were already too late.

Searching the scene, Police found countless small, plastic bags filled with Vicodin and other painkillers, plus anti-anxiety drugs such as Xanax. There was also one medication that played a large part in Michael Jackson’s demise — Lorazepam. But while initial autopsy results were inconclusive authorities investigating have leaked to People Magazine that they found, he had eight undigested OxyContin pills in his stomach and a ninth in his mouth, pointing to suicide.

Adam was almost killed in a plane crash last year, and such drugs were his way of enduring the endless cross-country flying that his fame now required. Friends say he was constantly begging Doctors to give him more, but cops also found pills to treat allergies and stomach upsets. And of them all, only one bottle was properly labeled — An anti-diarrhea drug Adam got on prescription.

The LA medical examiner told the NY Post that a precise cause of death can not be determined until toxicology reports are received by his office, which will take several weeks. Until  then the stories go on…
