2. TMZ enough already with this looser, who is that guy? What excatetly did he do that made him famous, except smoking that that crack. He was a crack head, and a small time dj. Please, you are acting like he was mother theresa. He was a drug addict, and a crack head, who overdose on drugs like so many. What made him so special, can we please move on.

This is what the man chose to do with his money, buy drugs, smoke crack, and lord knows what else. Please let him rest in peace.

3. REST IN PEACE.
Drug addiction takes so many good people away from this earth. Loved ones go on to suffer with the pain of their loss and never fully heal.

4. Is this the guy that survived that plane crash? He later wanted to sue the flight crew? He was lucky to be alive and then he wanted to profit from that? What a stupid jerk! Karma... thats all I got to say. Instant Karma...

5.
You would think that a brush with death would get someone to clean up their act. Let him be an example. A tribute will be posted on http://thintheherd.info

6. Hey Joseph, you just said that DJ AM was a "small time DJ". Really you loser?? He made $25,000 for EACH gig he did and had a 2 million dollar apartment. WHAT do you have, you loser? A $6.00 an hour job at McDonald's????????????????????????????????

Get a life and stop ripped the deceased. You will never have the talent that DJ AM had.

7. Seriously people...have some respect. He was a human being just like the rest of us. He was someone's son. Just because you dont know who we was doesn't give you the right to be rude. Yes he may have had a drug problem and that is sad. I think if you really have nothing good to say you probably should just keep your mouth shut. You people obviously have to rip on other people to make yourselves feel good. And if you people have a problem with what TMZ reports then why are you even on here?

RIP DJ AM!

It doesn't matter if she knew him or not,she has every right to share her thoughts & YOU are NOT the comment monitor....get over yourself....nobody forces you to read anyone's comments. You do it so you can then bitch at nice people for what? saying nice things?

THANKS RAVEN

Whether I knew DJ AM or not, he was a human being with family and friends that cared and loved him deeply. I find it truly disgusting that there are people in this world that could care less about others feelings or the life of a human being. You are the same individuals that make outlandish comments about our lost soldiers. No one in this world is perfect. I'm not perfect. I know each and every person reading this right now has some kind of imperfection that they wish they didn't have.
Being an addict is a disease. It is not something you can erase, even when you have been sober for years. It only takes one mistake to start the impulses all over again. If you are not an addict, don't act like you understand an addicts brain or what they go through daily to control their addictions. I commend DJ AM for his years of sobriety. Something small can spark the thought of using again so, I bet the plane crash and the burns he sustained led to him using drugs again. Otherwise, I think he would be alive and sober today.
If you are one of the individuals posting ridiculous comments, please look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what it would be like reading rude comments about someone you've lost.
It's truly pathetic and karma is a bitch.

11. How can someone have the blessings of surviving a plane crash and throw it all away on having a crack attack. I am sure their will be more crackytales to be told. Hopefully the crack pipe belonged to the Maid.

12. Well isn't this special. Inconclusive results and the mud slinging begins............

13. Attn: lol girls, yes I KNOW minumum wage is $7.25 (as you must know because that is all you make), but that Joseph fool is such an idiot that I doubt he even earns $7.25! THAT is hwy I said he probably earns only $6.00.

DJ AM was talented and sweet. Did any of you ever stop and think that PERHAPS after over 10 years of sobriety the REASON he again only recently turned to drugs was because he was in extreme pain from having had skin grafts from his severe burns from a HELLO PEOPLE...wait for it..a freakin PLANE CRASH! Let's see if any of you get into a plane crash and don't need pain meds! The only sad and ironic thing is that AM survived a plane crash...only to then lose his life to the drugs he NEEDED to ease the paon of having SURVIVED the plane crash. DUH..now peopel show some respect for thos poor guy's family. Let him rest in peace.
