DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, had been missing appointments and acting erratically in recent weeks -- behavior that so worried his West Coast manager and recovery sponsor that they jumped on a red-eye Wednesday night to confront him at his SoHo apartment Thursday morning, pals have told law-enforcement officials.
When they arrived, an agitated Goldstein stubbornly refused to see his manager -- but allowed the sponsor inside.
That's when Goldstein lit up a crack pipe and popped pills in front of his horrified pal, investigators told The Post.
Goldstein then promised his sponsor and manager that he'd check himself into a rehab clinic in California after making a scheduled gig in Las Vegas on Friday night, friends told law-enforcement officials.
Goldstein's apartment was littered with small plastic bags filled with painkillers Vicodin and oxycodone and anti-anxiety medications Xanax and lorazepam, sources told The Post.
Results of toxicology tests are still weeks away and a spokeswoman for the medical examiner said a precise cause of death could not be immediately determined.
Goldstein also had over-the-counter medications to fight allergies and stomach acid, according to law-enforcement officials.
