Hard to say, really. As a fan of the whole electronica/trance/DJ genre, it was surprising but not shocking.
The autopsies evidently confirmed there was no foul play. It was "just" a straight suicide.
I'll "step inside" some of this and add that he was Swedish; basically very quiet and sensitive (as a person) and culturally (I'm Danish) Scandinavians often struggle with the way "making it big" steals your soul. This is a wild guess, but I would take a shot that he was not at peace with his own "stardom."
Scandinavia has a high suicide rate, IN SPITE of being welfare states where everyone is taken care of. Alcoholism also runs rampant there, compared to most places. When he stopped touring, "drinking" (presumably to deal with the stress) was one of the (I think unspoken?) reasons, disguised as some other ailment.
Now, his family is hinting at suicide. That's iffy to me, BUT some of his fellow artists/producers have spoken of him having a lot of "sadness" in his thoughts. Maybe there's a clue there. Maybe the guy simply was depressed... and did what many Scandinavians do when depressed-- commit suicide.
Speculation, of course... but I'd wondering this, myself, since the news came out.

I saw some news that said, he died because of damage to the liver due to excessive consumption of alcohol during the time he was exposed to the events and parties where he attended, but I do not understand how that could only happen to him while the rest of the djs and even Normal people who consume excess alcohol for many years do not die as suddenly as it happened to him.
The only explanation I find is that he had an inherited predisposition that would have accelerated the damage he suffered because of alcohol consumption.
Although after all, it's still strange and I would not rule out that there's something worse behind his death.

German journalist @oliver-janich claims he was killed by pedophile elite because he exposed their practices in this video. Same procedure as for Chester Bennington.

"On 26 April, his family released an open letter about Bergling's death, implying suicide, although not explictly mentioning it, stating "he really fought a battle with thoughts about the meaning of life and happiness. Now he could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace." - Wikipedia

He really struggled with thoughts about meaning of life and happiness. He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace. Maybe that's the main reason DJ Avicii commit suicide.

I agree with @denmarkguy, which expressed the most plausible hypotheses.
The reason for the suicide is probably due to his success, which, ironically, caused him uneasiness that he had tried to reduce by using alcohol.
This, unfortunately, did nothing but worsen his state of health, causing him to fall into depression and leading him to the extreme decision to commit suicide.

My dad suffered from pancreatitis about once a year since I was a child. That can easily kill you and if he was drinking that very well may be the cause.

Avicii is my favorite singer... His family have now released a statement implying the Swedish DJ took his own life.
In the message, his relatives said the superstar could “no longer go on” and wanted “peace”.
In a statement translated from Swedish, Avicii’s relatives said: “Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions.
“An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress.
I share one of the best avichii song that inside the mind in his all fan...

Avicci was hanging on a yacht and sipping a drink the day before his death... and appeared to be happy and healthy.
Avicii has a drink in his hand, bit it's unclear if it's alcoholic or not.
Avicii said in a 2013 interview he stopped driking due to pancreatitis and was living a sober lifestyle.
Wowzi that seems odd
That's right, do you think that his drink fell badly on that day and he woke up badly on the day of his death?
My dad suffered from pancreatitis about once a year since I was a child. That can easily kill you and if he was drinking that very well may be the cause.
