Colin Kroll, CEO of the popular trivia app HQ Trivia, was found dead in his apartment on Saturday night of an apparent drug overdose, according to reports. He was 35.
Kroll was found in his home in Manhattan after cops were called when his girlfriend had been unable to get a hold of him, according to the New York Post.
The Post says marijuana and heroin were found near his body as well as an envelope containing white powder.
