Recently on ask JTF and in several Hebrew videos, Chaim talked about true happiness and how going to night clubs and taking drugs cannot bring true happiness. Recently, a famous Jewish disk jockey who performed at nightclubs died from taking drugs. That made me think of Chaim's recent shows.

Was he Jewish? Was he bar mitzvahed? Maybe he was born Jewish but I doubt he was observant..

What's the difference? His point was he was Jewish. Being that he was Jewish, obviously he did not reach true happiness through clubs, music and drugs. In fact, he reached a premature death instead. I believe that illustrates Chaim's point.

There's an old haaretz article about him that says, "Jewish DJ Adam Goldstein files lawsuit in South Carolina plane crash."

Also, his wikipedia entry lists him in the categories "American Jews" and "Jewish musicians."

DJ AM, a famous DJ and good friends with members of the famous alternative band Blink-182 (such as Travis Barker, who also survived that horrific plane crash), supposedly had been addicted to drugs before in his early 20s, but had been clean for ten years.
In any case I will not judge the poor guy too harshly. That plane crash last year was unimaginably traumatic and I'm sure every day of surviving it, having seen his friends burned alive, was an absolute nightmare and, for him, worse than dying. Without G-d in his life, this sort of an outcome was essentially inevitable.

It is sad news indeed... I do not know the particulars but from what I heard it was tough for him due to the pain medications. i know a bit about this because I am currently taking pain medication... It is a challenge to avoid getting hooked on them. I have a legal perscription and take only what I am perscribed to take.

Wow that is terrible. I agree with you.
with regards to his death Baruch Dayan haEmet. (means: Blessed is the true Judge).

It's really tragic indeed. Yeah he was a secular and worldly Jew (assuming he was, I'll take everyone's word for it), but nobody deserves that kind of ordeal.
-
I agree that it is sad how he survived a plane crash and then died a year later.

They found a crack pipe. That's taking it to the extreme. Crack cocaine is known as a very cheap and addictive "poor person's drug". He should have GOTTEN HELP! :'(
-
What I don't understand is Hashem saved his life once, then he does drugs and just kills himself.

He probably did not see it that way. I am sure this guy was completely secular.

you are correct
