The official was familiar with the preliminary autopsy report released last week but was not authorized to talk publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
People mag reported this morning that “nine” pills were found in his body.
The 36-year-old disc jockey was found Friday evening in his apartment after a friend called 911. A crack pipe and prescription pill bottles were discovered there. Final autopsy results are pending.
Meanwhile, we’ve haven’t heard a tweet from Nicole Richie since the untimely death of her ex-fiance — and now we know why.
The expectant celebutante nearly fell to the ground when she found out the awful news.
“Nicole almost collapsed in grief when she found out,” a source is quoted as saying. “She said she felt like her heart stopped for a few minutes. Nicole’s doctor raced to the house to check on her.”

that must have made joel madden feel like caca.
Sooooooo…. if he had that many oxycontins in his body, can they now rule out accidental overdose? I mean, even as a non-addict, I even know that’s lethal in and of itself. And, since they were undigested, doesn’t that mean that he most likely took them after he had taken whatever did kill him?
I doubt that Nicole fell to the ground…she probably doesn’t care that much about her drug
addicted ex boyfriend… so what about his present girlfriend talk about her instead..he
killed himself because she broke up with him..
does Nicole care about that NO…SHE PROBABLY
DOES NOT WANT TO BE HASSLED AND HARRASSED ABOUT
THAT STUPID QUESTION”SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
YOUR EX KILLING HIMSELF FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN
YOU NICOLE
Nicole didn’t tweet when her godfather died for at least or almost a week,what makes you think she’s going to tweet when her former bf dies?
@ evil bitch - I find your comment but I don’t think he cares.
Not that I wish something bad would happen to anyone. I wonder what star would write if something happened to Joel? “Hilary”s heart skipped a beat when she heard the news that her first love was hurt/died. Even after the break up she still cared as mentioned in an interview @ Much music quarters….etc.”
Shit! I think I should lay off the booze for a while.
Six??!! And a crack pipe? WTF was he thinking?
@ anon1 - umm he wanted to kill the pain caused by his gf leaving him?
Wow. Just because he was her ex boyfriend does not mean she shouldn’t be devastated by this. She was engaged to him and she loved him for a long period of her life…this will not be easy for her at all. And Joel shouldn’t be pissed off, it doesn’t mean she loves him any less. I wouldn’t exactly feel like tweeting if one of my exes died.
