The celebrity disc jockey, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, died of an apparent drug overdose in August 2009, almost a year after surviving a plane crash that left him with third-degree burns and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

A recovering drug addict, Goldstein had reportedly been clean for 11 years but started using again just days before his death. Friends say that prescription anti-anxiety medication may have caused him to crave harder drugs, and one addiction specialist told People magazine that former addicts with insomnia, a common symptom of PTSD, are at least three times a greater risk for relapse than people who sleep well. Goldstein told People in late 2008 that he worried about having fire-related nightmares "forever."
