That's the question everyone is wondering. Well, not everyone, but maybe a few people here and there. So People magazine did an in-depth article about it, in which I will give you the highlights to save you from reading it all:
A few weeks after the crash in 2008, DJ AM (real name: Adam Goldstein) told PEOPLE, "I had a terrible nightmare ... there was someone with an aerosol can trying to light me on fire. I woke up and I was like, 'Oh my God. This is going to happen forever.' "
Goldstein sought therapy, but his survivor's guilt and post-traumatic stress never went away, according to friends and colleagues. Indeed, they may have ultimately led the recovering drug addict – who was found dead Aug. 28 in his Manhattan apartment with illegal and prescription drugs – to a critical relapse.
"There's no doubt in my mind that the injuries Adam suffered in the plane crash caused last Friday's events," Goldstein's lawyer Matthew McNicholas said after the deejay's death. "Without the plane crash, we'd still be enjoying his musical talents. He lived with the trauma everyday."

It would be extremely hard to believe and very ironic if someone could survive a plane crash only to die a year later, if the death had nothing to do with the plane crash. So more than likely, the psychological issues and medicinal addictions combined with cocaine and whatever else he might've been taken killed him. I'm not even a doctor or a magician and I figured that out, so no more wondering. That's what happened. It's a fact. Not really. But probably.
