Private funeral held for DJ Avicii in Sweden

The funeral of Swedish DJ Avicii took place in a private ceremony in Stockholm last week, his publicist has confirmed.

The musician, whose real name was Tim Bergling, “was buried on Friday at the Skogskyrkogården cemetery in Stockholm”, Ebba Lindqvist said on Tuesday. “Only his family and closest friends were present.”

Avicii, 28, was found dead in a hotel in Muscat, Oman.

No cause of death was released but police ruled out “criminal suspicions”.

Bergling’s family appeared to suggest he took his own life, saying in a statement he “could not go on any longer”.
