Having suffered depression none of those things listed matter, you're so consumed by it that literally nothing else matters. It's been well documented that he suffered depression for a very long time, one day you can be planning to make more music the next you don't even want to get out of bed. I think he just succumbed to the disease I'm afraid

Nah, you can't just wipe a list of compelling reasons like that away with the universal solvent depression.

I'm not undermining the terrible weight of depression and its latent potential for suicide, but it's disingenuous to me, to apply that label without really examining the facts first.

Im just going from my own experience

I share that experience. I also know that depression triggered suicide has been used as a convenient explanation for otherwise baffling deaths (e.g the Chris Cornell/Chester Bennington combo)

I do think theyre dodgy myself. But with this, his own family have said about his battle with depression since his death.

You're right. I still believe it should be fully investigated as there were a lot of elements in what OP described that indicated he wasn't secretly on the brink of giving up (also was it a drug overdose or other means?), the family going there and then immediately turning around and accepting the suicide verdict, while at the same time not releasing any details as to how it happened is off to me.

They also discussed battles with depression and anxiety heavily re: Cornell & Bennington and it was enough to make everyone kind of shrug their shoulders and go "oh ok, the depression monster took him in his sleep- carry on".

It is possible depression legitimately was responsible for all these deaths. Again, not denigrating the seriousness of depression. I still believe everything should be investigated objectively before accepting that as the verdict.

One should be wary about murderers using anything as cover, particularly if there's a conspiracy to keep it hidden afoot.

But this ain't a baffling death. So what is your point?

Have you read into this at all?

I agree that depression can be pretty powerful but I still think at the very least the fact that he died not only on holiday with best friends but on royal Omani property is definitely something that matters

He was avicii, it's not like partying and being in exotic places was something new.

agreed. He was obviously unhappy living a celebrity Life that many would kill for, Also depression doesn't give a fuck if your the biggest baller in the World, you can still be unhappy.

Did you watch his doucumentary ...at the end he wasn't unhappy at all...he said he felt like he was 18 agian and finally had piece. Also he said he felt wonderful and his health was way better ...he'd had spent over a year eating right and working out, meditating and counseling at the end and was finally living the life he wanted.

So? Depression isn’t like chicken pox. It can come back you know.

Don't pull an Aaron Swartz on us.

oh please. Some magical illness that defies all logic and can be used as a justification for a death in any circumstance! You need to use logic once in a while and his "suicide" just doesn't add up, you can't conjure up some magic disease that in all situations causes death.

"Magical illness", you're one of the fortunate people who have never experienced chronic and/or acute depression before. You're right it is magical, in how it can invisibly devastate your mind and life while never leaving a mark on you that could justify the suffering your life has become. Extreme depression can literally cause brain, heart and cardiovascular damage- despite being some intangible, made up illness in the eyes that have never been haunted by it, magical is evidently real. FYI- don't talk shit about what you don't understand. On the other hand, I agree- it's definitely used as a cover for foul play and very potentially has been here.

I bet he is one of those people that will suggest “Just stop being sad” when someone mentions they are depressed.

You're not the only person who has ever suffered from depression and this is a really useless comment.

Did i say i was?

No child, you did not. You just assumed that because you suffer from something and understand it that you can then see everyone in the same light as your experience.

And it's stupid.

As I said on my next comment I'm going from my own experience, idiot.

Your experience is your own and has nothing to do with Avicii, idiot.

You wanting to kill yourself doesn't translate to "anyone with depression obviously just killed themselves, no need to think further."

Idiot.

Rule 10

All these people think you just go “oh but I can’t kill myself because of ‘insert arbitrary reason here’”. Literally nothing matters more than the feeling of release from the agony you get when depressed.

Yes!

Suicide in the sense that if you piss off powerful people they kill you.

Who did he piss off though? Was he even trying to fight for something good? Sounds more like tragedy than foul play.

I was a DJ in a large city for a number of years, I've opened for a few big names and played small and large clubs as well as raves.

Free booze and drugs were the norm, always. Some have it in contract that they must have party favors, others will say they won't go on unless they get this or that, despite contracts. These guys were making anywhere from a few hundred dollars a night, up to 100k a gig depending on how big they were.

Drugs and booze were standard, period. You don't get to play gigs without smoozing a promoter in the back room and you do that by doing coke with him or his buddies, that's the way it is. I've seen super shit DJs play all over the States because they have a good cocaine connection and have the ability to speak to anyone, not because they are good at what they do, but because they know the right people and have the gift of gab.

The club world is overflowing with cocaine and drugs, it what runs the people that pay to get in, it's what the promoters are doing, it's what the artists are doing. Getting caught up in it all is so very easy. Staying sober through it All? Good fucking luck. He was a kid with a problem and in this industry there are no sober nights.

I feel this is a distraction from what I dunno but are we really surprised that this kid ODs after living the life for so long? It took me years to get sober and I left the scene completely. I feel for his family and his dog, but he had a choice and chose to relapse it happens every hour of every day.

I'm not sure how closely you've followed his story, he'd already come back from the precipice drugs wise (minus an appendix and gall bladder from hitting it too hard) and there is no information I'm aware that indicate it was suicide by overdose.

Yeah, your post is bullshit.

Haha! Okay random stranger, enlighten us then.

No one has said that he OD'd so there goes your rant about yourself.

Wasn't it widely known he was an alcoholic recently getting back on the wagon?

I think this is all a distraction from something, all celebrity gossip is and I'm sorry if I came off as an ass. The nightclub industry is heavy in drug use/abuse, it's a lifestyle I feel he relapsed, or had sudden complications from his prior lifestyle.

I have friends in the industry. I know that everything you say is true. Especially this:

You don't get to play gigs without smoozing a promoter in the back room and you do that by doing coke with him or his buddies, that's the way it is. I've seen super shit DJs play all over the States because they have a good cocaine connection and have the ability to speak to anyone, not because they are good at what they do, but because they know the right people and have the gift of gab.

I'm also old enough to recognize your username. Oaky's Courtyard mix was always a favorite. ;)

Watch his documentary...at the end he want using anything and he had been healthy for over a year. He said he felt like he was 18 agian, he isn't "od"

An outsiders perspective on his families statement that some felt insinuated suicide: they were commenting on the fact he was troubled by existence and he self-medicated. I don't think there's anything more to it than that, and the reality is partying/drinking can and will catch up.

That much is obvious.

Red pilled as fuck in that thread. It’s a microcosm of what researching a conspiracy burdens you with. Fighting the msm and twitter drones

people kill themselves.. it happens

Hunter S. Thompson invited his kids and family up to his house for a get together, he went into another room and shot himself.

TIL

The more you know ☄

But did he?

Yes.

Supposedly

Oddly enough , Hunter s Thompson is a known mk ultra practitioner. He is heavily thrown around by celebrities in songs. Also c avscii means the depths of hell in Buddhism . Just throwing these out there . Mk ultra is known for causing suicide .

He also may have directed a snuff film. And the shit about pineal glands is super suspect.

He had made it well known that he would do this one day. Don't think that takes away from your point, but I'm not sure dude was as ready to depart this world as HST was. Then again, I know nothing of this guy and I'm basing my assumption off of OP's homework and testimony, so I could be wrong.

I didn't even listen or follow Avicii too much, but even I knew that kid had depression bad. Aside from him "loving dogs" and having music planned out, is there any evidence that he was messing with something over his head? There's not a lot of foul play signs and he's been known to go heavy on drinking and drugs.

I totally believed Chester and Chris were murdered but avicii just sounds like a tragic succumbing of the DJ life. Chris and Chester were digging for something that is rampant with the elites, Avicii just seemed to be a normal artist.

He also referenced a concern for human trafficking, made statements about it and directed a video himself about it.

Okay, that's a little closer to something that could get him killed.

Sigh at these responses, I guess we're r/mentalgymnastics now

Found this interesting:

http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2018/04/blind-item-2_23.html

Could be the explanation. He "insulted" a well-connected Omani (a royal even?) who had him murdered. The local police and pathologist covered it up.

I've heard some of crazydays content is effectively fan fiction, but I could believe this one quite readily.

Lots of them are later revealed when they go public, so there is at least some credibility there

Absolutely- maybe what I heard was just cointelpro of some kind.

I think RDJ's posts are always legit, it was the other I read that can get imaginative at times.

Ok but why would "they" (whoever they may be) want him dead?

One of the sad realities of suicide is that the highest risk is when people start to feel better because it is then when they have the motivation to end it

Sometimes people make the ultimate rash decision. Sadly it happens.

I have seen "news" about his speculated connection with bringing attention to child trafficking. It seems to all be centered around the theme of a couple of videos he has released. See this thread for more: https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8dycrw/avicii_made_2_videos_on_human_trafficking_before/?utm_source=reddit-android

There's not a whole lot of solid evidence on this one but it is worth looking into seeing as how much better he seemed to be doing. Foul play or not, his passing is a tragedy.

Who is he? And how was he a threat?

Where did you watch his documentary ?

What happened to his brother?

I just find it weird they haven't released a cause of death. With Robin Williams, Chris Cornell and Chester Podesta they said suicide by hanging within a day or so. Suicides of celebrities are always reported immediately. I think he was killed for offending a rich Arab royal accidentally or intentionally. Dude was worth 85 million and a superstar DJ who probably had an ego if annoyed or provoked.

I share that experience. I also know that depression triggered suicide has been used as a convenient explanation for otherwise baffling deaths (e.g the Chris Cornell/Chester Bennington combo)

So? Depression isn’t like chicken pox. It can come back you know.
