Bizarre conspiracy claims Avicii killed for exposing pedophile ring

A network of absurd, spoof clickbait websites have published an article that assert DJ Avicii was killed because he had planned to expose a pedophile ring.

The Swedish DJ Avicii was found dead in a hotel apartment in Oman at the age of only 28 years.

The website NeonNettle, that often produces articles in cohorts with other similarly veined websites such as YourNewsWire.com, published an article along with the claim that Swedish DJ Avicii was killed because he had planned to expose a pedophile ring.

As the music world mourned the loss of Swedish DJ Avicii who died at 28 years old last week, speculation to whether he was trying to expose a pedophile ring in his video ‘For a better day’ has been gaining momentum.

Why Avicii’s death doesn’t make sense
There has been no official report on his exact cause of death but despite this, Avicii’s death has a bunch of eerie similarities with the recent deaths of two other music legends, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. Avicii hinted at exposing a child trafficking ring in his video ‘for a better Day’ – but first, let’s get to the similarities.

The article then attempts to spot similarities between the death of Avicii and the artists Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington, specifically, the false claim that the pair of musicians had also been attempting to expose child trafficking networks before they died. However the “evidence” for this offered by NeonNettle is merely references to equally spurious articles published by them and YourNewsWire.com.

Firstly, the original source… NeonNettle.com is a bizarre spoof news website with an almost inexplicable fascination along the subject of sex abuse, particularly related to minors. Large swathes of the nonsense articles it publishes are related to this theme, including only this week a fake story about how a pedophile’s body was “dumped on the doorstep of the Houses of Parliament”, another nonsense article about a child abuser who had his testicles cut off in prison, and another that claimed actor Brad Pitt revealed Hollywood was controlled by pedophiles. All of these articles are both objectively and demonstrably fake.

These are only but a few of the as absurd and (most importantly) entirely baseless articles spewed from this website, with the only apparent motivation being clickbait.

As for the article by Neon Nettle itself, it is demonstrably flawed. The article claims Avicii had merely “hinted” at exposing a child trafficking ring with his 2015 video “For a Better Day”, but this is patently false. Avicii had, in reality, directly acknowledged that the video tackled the subject of human trafficking, and as such was not “covertly” hinting at the subject.

The rest of the article relies on pure speculation or references to other fake articles that are also entirely baseless. At the time of writing, while no official cause of death has been given, Avicii’s family have heavily hinted that Avicii had committed suicide, and authorities have ruled out foul play.

While conspiracy theorists are likely to take this entirely baseless article from NeonNettle.com at face value, it should be noted to our other readers that this article – like most of NeonNettle’s articles – is entirely fallacious, offers absolutely no evidence whatsoever for its claims and is in direct contradiction to the findings of the authorities.
