Avicii's Last Moments Before Death Revealed in Heartbreaking Documentary

Avicii's final moments before his tragic death have been revisited in a new documentary.

The late DJ, born Tim Bergling, was 28 when he died on April 20, 2018. He was found dead in a hotel room in Oman at the time.

In the new documentary Avicii: I'm Tim, Avicii's final moments have been shown as he devoured painkillers toward the end of his life. The flick also included never-before-seen footage of his friends and family who shared their stories about the late musician.

Jesse Waits said he became "like a brother" to Avicii and that he knew about his struggles with addiction.

"His eyes were wide open like a zombie, he was not there. At the dinner, his demeanor changed and his eyes dilated. That changes everything," said Waits. "Those pills change how you act and how you feel. You wake up feeling like s--- and have to have another one to feel good. For him, it was to suppress his anxiety, but it just created more anxiety."

Avicii also appeared in the documentary as he gave one of his final interviews before his death, revealing he was happier before he became famous.

"I just took everything that I could. I didn't realize you could do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. But once that opened up, you could tour the whole year. I was killing myself. The touring went even more crazy because the fees were getting higher... everything went so fast from that point on," the "Wake Me Up" singer added.

Avicii's death was later ruled a suicide. He used a broken glass bottle to inflict a fatal wound.

Avicii's last diary entries were also included in the book Tim - The Official Biography of Avicii. His final message read: "The shedding of the soul is the last attachment, before it restarts!"

Before his death, Avicii faced different health issues, including acute pancreatitis. He also underwent surgery to remove his gallbladder and appendix.
