Avicii's Suicide Method Was Pretty Brutal

by HHL JT

Swedish DJ Avicii was found dead on April 20th in the Middle Eastern country of Oman.

Last week, his family revealed that the 28-year-old committed suicide. 

TMZ has now learned that Avicii killed himself by breaking a wine bottle and cutting himself with the glass. Two of their sources say he sliced his neck, but a third insists it was his wrist.

"Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who traveled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress. When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music. He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer,"read Avicii's family's message from last week.

Avicii battled alcoholism and had issues with both his mental and physical health.  He had quit touring in 2016, explaining that the demands of a DJ's lifestyle were too much for him. 

RIP.
