The autopsy for DJ AM is under way, after the celebrity spinner was found dead in his New York apartment Friday.

New York City Medical Examiner's Office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove told E! News the office will have results later today regarding the cause of his death.

Although reports have circulated that drug paraphernalia was found in Adam Goldstein's apartment, Borakove would not confirm that information.

"We never discuss scenes," Borakove said.

The department may not announce Goldstein's exact cause of death until a later date when the results are definitive, according to the spokeswoman.

Upon completion of the autopsy Saturday afternoon, Borakove told E! News it will take "several" weeks before they can reach a conclusion on the cause of DJ AM's death.

"We have to do some additional testing including toxicology," Borakove said.

The spokeswoman would not reveal any information regarding preliminary results that had been found in the autopsy, noting that his death is still under investigation.

"Once we determine the cause of death we will determine the manner," Borakove said.
