The report said that Avicii, born Tim Bergling, apparently cut himself, causing a “massive amount of bleeding.” He used glass, TMZ reported.
“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,” TMZ reported.
He was found dead at 28 in Muscat, Oman on April 20.
His family issued a statement, indicating that he killed himself, while adding that he wanted to “find peace.”
