Avicii reportedly died by suicide due to self-inflicted wounds, blood loss

Avicii passed away at the much too young age of 28 last month, and a new report on TMZ states that sources confirm that he died by suicide. TMZ gives this graphic description:

Our sources say the method of death was a shard of glass that caused massive bleeding. Two sources tell us Avicii broke a bottle and used the glass to inflict the fatal wound. One of the sources says it was a wine bottle.

Two sources tell us the point of injury was Avicii’s neck but another strongly denies that, saying it was his wrist. We cannot confirm this, but the sources were privy to specific information about Avicii’s death.

Recently, Avicii’s family gave a statement alluding to suicide, saying “He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace.”
