No, no. DEAD shot himself. He was the basist/writer for Mayhem before they released an album. The singer for the band, Euronymous, took a picture of his corpse and actually used it as a cover for one of their demos. Varg, singer of Burzum, later ended up leaving Mayhem and stabbed Euronymous to death, claiming Euronymous was going to record himself killing Varg and making a snuff film with it. I know that story inside and out, without the documentary.

Abbath, singer of Immortal, was friends with both Varg and Euronymous. He was the one who introduced Varg to Euronymous. Imagine being him.
