Swedish DJ Tim Berling, known as Avicii, passed away on Friday at the age of 28 after a series of health problems.

Berling was born in Stockholm in 1989. His life ended in Muscat, Oman. The stage name he chose – Avicii – means “the lowest level of Buddhist hell” and part of the reason he stuck with it was that his real name was already taken on MySpace.

His publicist spoke about the unfortunate event:

“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii. He was found dead in Muscat, Oman this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th. The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given.”

Anton Yelchin’s Wrongful Death Lawsuit has been Laid to Rest

One of the saddest deaths in Hollywood that we can remember is that of Anton Yelchin. The Star Trek actor was only 27 when he died in 2016 as a result of his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee rolling down his driveway and pinning him against a concrete mailbox.

2 years after the horrific event, Anton’s parents have finally settled a wrongful death lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler which they launched in 2016. They claimed that that the Jeep and its transmission system “possessed one or more defects in design, manufacture or otherwise which were known, or should have been known”.

The vehicle was recalled after 117 crashes and 28 injuries had been linked to the vehicles rolling off freely when drivers thought they had locked them in “park.”

Gary Dordick, who acted as the attorney for Viktor and Irina Yelchin, has said that the funds from the undisclosed settlement would benefit the Anton Yelchin Foundation for young sick and disabled people in the arts. In addition, the settlement money will also help fund a documentary about Anton’s life.

We look forward to seeing the continuation of his legacy.
