Late EDM DJ and producer Avicii’s ex-girlfriend Emily Goldberg has died from a pulmonary embolism at age 34.

Emily died on April 3 in La Jolla, California as confirmed by her obituary.

The writer’s life-threatening condition was caused by one or more arteries in the lungs being blocked by a blood clot.

Born on December 3, 1989, in Poway, California, Goldberg had been battling cancer throughout much of 2022 and 2023.

She shared on May 24, 2023, "I am now cancer free 😷 🏥🩺⚕️🚑," along with a Snapchat photo seemingly taken from a hospital bed with the caption “I lived bitch” written across it.

Goldberg and Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii, dated for two years before his tragic death in April 2018 by suicide.

On April 21, a tribute to the "Wake Me Up" producer was posted on her Instagram, where Goldberg wrote:

“Come on babe, don’t give up on us. Choose me, and I’ll show you love.” Those are lyrics from a song Tim wrote for me. I wish I could have lived up to them. For the two years we were together, he was my closest confidante, and my best friend. Now I can’t look at Bear without knowing I’ll never see his face again. I’m still collecting my thoughts and thank you for all your kind words and texts. Wake me up when it’s all over, because I don’t want it to be real 💔 #ripavicii #avicii”

Avicii died by suicide while on vacation in Muscat, Oman, at the age of 28
