“Seeing this face just brought me joy,” one follower wrote with a series of red heart emoji.

“Aww He’s always with you in Spirit!!!” another Instagram user chimed in.

“I lost my best friend 10 years ago today too! Hard day! Pray they are both happy and watching over us,” another fan wrote.

According to Radar Online, Golstein died at the age of 36 on August 28, 2009. An autopsy revealed that he died of an accidental overdose from acute intoxication from the combination of cocaine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Benadryl, and Levamisole.

Though it was ruled accidental, a lot of people have speculated that the death may have been a suicide since nine OxyContin tablets were found in his body and he reportedly barricaded the door when police tried to enter. After his death, celebrities flooded the internet with thoughts and prayers to Goldstein’s family and friends.

Luckily, Moore is still trying her best to keep his memory alive.
