DJ AM's Death Was An Accident Not Suicide

It looks like DJ AM, Adam Goldstein, died from an accidental overdose and not suicide. DJ-AM According to TMZ,
Our sources say DJ AM, a recovering addict, developed a dependency to Xanax and otherbenzodiazepines (a group of drugs used to treat anxiety) as a direct result of the plane crash a year ago. We're told AM (akaAdam Goldstein) developed a tremendous anxiety over flying -- something he had to do frequently for his job. We're told doctors began prescribing Xanax and other anti-anxiety medications to relieve his fear, but the benzos triggered a relapse into addiction. We're told benzos are particularly dicey for recovering addicts. Our sources say DJ AM's relapse was "recent" -- he was not abusing for a prolonged period of time before his death. We're also told the OD had "absolutely nothing to do with his recent breakup." Our sources say the evidence strongly indicates cause of death will be a combination of crack cocaine and benzos.
It's really sad that another star lost their life to drugs. It's been a rough year for Hollywood. What do you think?
