Mystery over top DJ’s death
Police in Oman have conducted two autopsies on the body of Grammynominated DJ Avicii, who died Friday at age 28 but no evidence of foul play was found.
SWEDEN’S public broadcaster says police in Oman have conducted two autopsies on the body of Grammy-nominated electronic dance DJ Avicii, who died Friday at age 28.
Public broadcaster SVT, citing information from an anonymous police official in Oman, reported that the autopsies revealed nothing suspicious and foul play has been ruled out in the performer’s death.
The broadcaster says the body has been cleared to be taken back to Avicii’s native Sweden, where he was born as Tim Bergling.
Fans in Stockholm observed a minute of silence in his honour on Saturday.
Avicii’s international breakthrough came in 2011 with the single
Levels, which became a world hit.
He had six top 10 singles in Australia, most notably the 2013 chart-topper Wake Me
Up, and collaborated with Madonna, Coldplay, Wyclef Jean and Robbie Williams.
Swedish tabloid Expressen says Avicii (above) stayed at Oman’s Muscat Hills Resort.
Expressen says he spent time with friends, went kitesurfing and enjoyed the country so much was planning to stay a few extra days.
