DJ AM aka Adam Goldstein arrives at the Grand Re-Opening of the Hollywood Palladium headlined by Jay-Z, Hollywood, California - 15.10.08

While he was being treated for burns sustained during the September (08) crash, he learned of a potentially fatal blood clot in his leg.

He tells America's People magazine, "In the burn centre, they did a scan and found that I had a blood clot that in this flight could have travelled to my heart and I could have died."

He explains the clot, a result of frequent flying, was cleared while he was a patient at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in August, Georgia. Doctors put a filter in his vein and prescribed blood-thinning medication to prevent complications.

He adds, "I have a great deal of faith that everything happens for a reason."
