Dance music superstar Avicii committed suicide by slashing himself with a shard of glass, the celebrity gossip site TMZ reported on Tuesday (May 1). A representative for the Swedish DJ did not reply to requests for comment. But his family earlier insinuated that Avicii had killed himself.

“He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness,” his family said in an open letter on Thursday (April 26). “He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace.”
