Adam Goldstein has been found dead in his New York apartment, after suffering a reported drug overdose.
Police broke into his home on Lafayette Street in Lower Manhattan at 5:20 p.m. on Friday evening after they were alerted by a concerned friend who had been unable to reach him for several days, reports TMZ.com.
The New York Post is reporting that drug paraphernalia was found in the apartment.
Goldstein's death, at the age of 36, comes nearly a year after he and Travis Barker were involved in a plane crash in South Carolina that killed four people. He suffered severe burns when the Learjet burst into flames after overshooting the runway.
The star, who famously dated Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore, had battled drug addiction in the past and revealed earlier this year he had attempted suicide while high on crack cocaine when he was 24 years old.

In an announcement made on Friday, Jackson's death was ruled a homicide and blamed on the "acute" presence of the anesthetic Propofol and anti-anxiety drug Lorazepam in his system.
The superstar had also taken Midazolam (Versed), Diazepam (Valium), Lidocaine (topical anesthetic) and Ephedrine prior to his death on June 25.
The full autopsy report has not been released.
The ruling looks set to kickstart a murder investigation, with the spotlight on Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray -- who is accused to administering Propofol to help the star sleep the night before he died.
