MTV is still moving forward with plans to air its intervention-style reality show featuring the late DJ AM, according to Reuters. DJ Adam Goldstein filmed a tough-love style show for drug addicts before he succumbed to his own addiction last month — and MTV is expected to air the footage.
Gone Too Far showcases DJ AM as the once-addicted and now sober guide helping other people through the battles with drug dependencies. The celebrity spinner was believed to have been sober for eleven years before he relapsed. Goldstein was found dead in his NYC apartment last month of an apparent drug overdose.
MTV is likely to air the program and has been in contact with Adam’s family about when an appropriate time would be to do so, there is concern that airing the footage too soon would be perceived as hypocritical or exploitative.
Toxicology results have not been released, but PEOPLE Magazine cites sources claiming the mixmaster had ingested eight OxyContin pills and had a ninth in his mouth when he was found dead.
DJ AM wrapped filming on the show just three days before his death. The series was originally slated to debut on October 5, 2009.
