Do Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein's and Michael Jackson's Deaths Have Similarities?

Karen Barnes
With Michael Jackson's death still in the news from a drug overdose at the hands of his doctor, DJ AM's death is about two months after Jackson's death. With these two celebrities deaths in the news, will there be any changes in how doctors are allowed to prescribe medications to their patients?

Mind you, there is talk of marijuana found in Michael Jackson's home. Now there is talk of a crack pipe found in DJ AM's home. We know Jackson's doctor admits to giving him propofol just before his death. His family states they also saw marijuana in his home.

While the lab reports state there wasn't any marijuana in Jackson's body, he did have it in his possession. Whether it actually was his or not, it was in his home; even if it was moldy.

What makes me wonder is why the medical examiner in Jackson's case didn't release the whole report? I think it has to do with his death still being investigated as a homicide. There may be things in the report at this time attorneys and police investigators have told the examiner not to release until they finish their investigation into his death.

I think the investigation into his death will continue on for several more months before all charges are brought against his doctor. Once the investigation has come to an end, all charges will be filled against the doctor in court. Then there is the court hearing on how the doctor will be charged. I suspect the doctor will be charged on a federal level.

What's so sad about the death of DJ AM is he survived a plane crash just last year. Almost a year to the day of the plane crash, Adam Goldstein, dies from what some are calling "an apparent overdose." With that said, what kind of prescription drugs and illegal drugs are going to be found in DJ AM's body? Did he overdose from the prescriptions, crack or heroine, or both? Will the investigations into DJ AM's death take as long as Jackson's?

In either of these death's, I suspect there are things we may never hear about. I also suspect the deeper investigators dive into both deaths, we may hear things that may even shock us. In either case, their deaths in the hands of drugs will be on people's minds and in conversations in years to come. What a tragic way to be remembered.
