MTV's 'Gone Too Far' host DJ AM drug overdose claims his life

Despite his recent statements that he would not associate with anyone who did cocaine, DJ AM apparently has died from an alleged overdose of some form of the drug.

He survived a plane crash last year that claimed four lives, yet his second chance still did not resolve popular disc jockey and reality TV personality DJ AM from steering clear of the demons that nearly killed him time and again. He had been sober and at a healthy weight for 11 years, but something threw the recovering addict back into the drug scene. Some news sources are speculating his pain from the plane crash burns got him hooked on prescription painkillers.

"In a sense you do have to, I did find a new group to hang with, work with, but in the clubs...it's so hard because people are constantly at you offering everything...I have an allergic reaction to alcohol and drugs. I cannot have just one of anything."TMZ is claiming a break-up with model Hayley Wood set off his self-destruction.
