Colin Kroll, co-founder of the HQ Trivia app, dead at 35
Colin Kroll, the co-founder of the video hosting platform Vine and the popular HQ Trivia app, has died of an apparent drug overdose, according to reports. He was 35 years old.
Officers entered his apartment in downtown Manhattan after his girlfriend called police and requested a welfare check, according to the entertainment news website TMZ. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The website, citing a police source, said Kroll is believed to have died of a drug overdose involving cocaine and heroin. Drug paraphernalia were found near his body in the bedroom.
Kroll was part of the original Vine team but was later fired by Twitter for being a bad manager. He and Rus Yusupov went on to create the HQ Trivia app, which at one time was one of the most popular apps on the iPhone.
