On June 14, 2008, Svensson went missing during a scuba diving session on Ingarö outside of Stockholm, Sweden. His diving companions eventually found him lying unconscious on the seabed. Having sustained serious injuries, he was rushed to Karolinska University Hospital by helicopter, but his life could not be saved. He was 44 years old, married and the father of two sons.

One of the best composers in the world. Got the job done. 'Remembered' in peace

Though I don't believe in regrets and the futile "if only's", I do dearly regret not going to see EST when they came last to London...thinking there would be another chance... their powerful music will always remind me to live in the moment...
