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.
