Avicii died by suicide using broken wine bottle: Report | Consequence of Sound
The exact cause of Avicii’s death has been revealed, according to TMZ, which reports that the 28-year-old DJ took his own life by cutting himself with a broken wine bottle. In a statement released last week, the family of Avicii (née Tim Bergling) alluded to suicide as the cause of his death. They wrote, “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,” the statement reads. “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. He wanted to find peace.”

Avicii Dead: Inside the Superstar Deejay's Health Woes
What Avicii‘s life lacked in years, it more than made up for in sheer output. The superstar deejay, responsible for hits including “Levels” and “Wake Me Up,” was known for his creative intensity that pushed him towards punishing international tour schedules — like the grueling 27-day bus tour of the U.S. in 2012, for which he played 26 nights — and an astonishing release rate of two albums and three EPs over the course of just four years. The heavy workload resulted in health problems that forced his retirement from live performance in 2016 — and may have contributed to his premature death two years later on April 20 at the age of 28.
