Earlier this afternoon we broke the unfortunate news to the OURBLOC.com readership that DJ AM has died at the age of 36.
Numerous news agencies are reporting that friends of DJ AM notified the police when they hadn't heard from AM after a series of strange Twitter messages. Authorities went to AM's residence knocked several times, and after there was no response, they kicked in the door to discover his lifeless body. At this time, the authorities are ruling DJ AM's death as a suicide since [allegedly] drug paraphernalia was found near the body. We are saying allegedly until the Coroner's Office or an official Police statement is released. The reported information was provided by an Access Hollywood source.
For those who may not be familiar with DJ AM, he was one of the hottest DJs in the world. I never had an opportunity to see him perform live, but he was known for rocking a crowd hard. Many heard about his and Travis Barker's miracleous survial of a plane crash  in 2008. All but Travis and AM died in the fiery crash that occurred just after takeoff; that's why this news is so unfortunate.
Yo DJ AM .... we didn't know you, but you truly will be missed. To all the DJs out there let the tables spin silent for a moment in honor of AM.
On that note Bloc Heads... enjoy a DJ that understood the "Art of Mixology" and a Drummer that is so sick with it...you would think he had 8 arms.
