In the year 2018, the world of pop culture has lost influencers and icons. Since January, we have lost Mac Miller, Stan Lee and many more. With only a few days left in the year 2018, we must say goodbye to yet another influential figure in pop culture. HQ Trivia CEO, Colin Kroll, was found dead at the age of thirty-five.
According to a report from TMZ, “Kroll’s girlfriend called police early Sunday and asked them to check up on him after she was unable to get in touch. ” As a result, law enforcement officials went to Kroll’s apartment to check on the tech mogul. When they entered the apartment, they found Kroll’s body with drug paraphernalia allegedly nearby. Initial reports from TMZ indicate that the drugs involved were from cocaine and heroin.
Prior to his work at HQ Trivia, Kroll helped co-found Vine. He also served as the CTO of Jetsetter. Kroll leaves behind his girlfriend and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kroll family at this difficult time.
