Chris' Wife Not in Labor at Time of Crash

A publicist for Travis Barker and DJ AM contacted TMZ and says our sources are incorrect -- that Chris Baker's wife was not in labor when he died in the plane crash and that was not the reason Travis and the others flew home on a private jet.

The publicist adds, "Both Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) are in critical but stable condition and are being treated at Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia after surviving a plane crash late last night in Columbia, South Carolina.

The hospital will issue a statement with an update on their condition at 9:00 am eastern time tomorrow. Due to the nature of the injuries and the evolving course of treatment no further information on their condition is available at this time.

The accident claimed the lives of four people on board, two of whom, Chris Baker (Lil' Chris) and Charles Still (Che), were close friends of the injured.

On behalf of Travis Barker and DJ AM, deepest sympathy is expressed to the loved ones of all who perished in the crash. As the two recuperate and mourn this loss, privacy for them, their families, and friends is requested at this time."

16. Praying for Travis and DJ Adam. They both want to live, they jumped from the plane. They both have so much to live for and I hope they stay strong and their families stay strong for them.

17. WHAT THE HELL IS TMZ THINKING BY POSTING FACTS THAT ARE INNACURATE AND ITS NOT LIKE THESE CLOWNS DONT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO FIND THE TRUTH. ILL JUST MAKE A NOTE NOT TO EVER RESORT TO TMZ FOR ANY INFO I MAY NEED. THE TRUTH IS THAT CHRIS WILL BE MISSED BY HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND MY SOUL AND HEART GO OUT TO HIS WIFE AND SON AND THATS WHERE MY PRAYERS ARE GOING. I WILL MISS THE LIL HOMIE AND THE CHARACTER HE WAS ALWAYS MADE PEOPLE SMILE.. HE WAS A GREAT ASSISTANT AND GIVING MAN. HE WAS INDEED LITTLE, BUT HIS HEART WAS BIG...PRAY FOR HIS WIFE TO GET THRU THIS AND FOR HIS SON TO BE STRONG AS HE GETS OLDER AND GUIDED BY HIS GREAT FATHERS SPIRIT. ALSO TRAVIS AND AM, PRAYERS TO THEM TO HEAL QUICKLY AND SAFELY..!!!

18. TMZ, maybe you should get your facts straight before posting! That's outrageous. Also, why is nobody monitoring the comments?! Are you aware of the malicious comments some people are making?! Or do you care?
