DJ AM had six prescription pills in his stomach and one in his throat when he was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in his apartment, an official tells the Associated Press.

The pills appear to be powerful painkiller OxyContin, according to the unnamed official.

Look back at DJ AM's life in photos.

A preliminary autopsy on the 36 year old (real name: Adam Goldstein) came up as inconclusive, according to the Medical Examiner's Office. Toxicology reports are still pending.

Goldstein was found face down on his bed inside his $2 million NYC apartment Sept. 28. A crack pipe and prescription pill bottles were also discovered near his shirtless body. There was no evidence of foul play.

Goldstein has openly discussed his battle with crack cocaine, Ecstasy, but said he was sober for 11 years. He was set to star in an Intervention-type MTV reality show called Gone Too Far this fall.

A memorial "in the format of a 12-step meeting" for Goldstein will be held at the Hollywood Palladium Thursday.

    Dj AM was such an influence to the world of Dj's. Its sad that this is just another person to take for granted the opportunity they had to impact the world n a positive way and now become widely known as a drug addict. Its sad that people can become so entirely off balance. You will be missed.

    So what. Just one less drug addict in the world. We all make our choices. His apparently was to get "high". I'm sick of these people being made out to be more than what they really are. Human.
