Police found the young man on Sunday after his girlfriend asked them to visit him. "The best kept secret of medicine: dying is not as bad as you think" The death is being investigated as a suspicion of drug overdose, authorities said. NYPD officers went to Kroll's Manhattan apartment to conduct a social welfare checkup and found his body along with drug paraphernalia nearby, entertainment portal TMZ reported. Kroll and his partner Rus Yusupov co-founded the app, and Kroll was named general manager in September. The free live application consists of a series of questions that online users must answer. At the end of the contest, the winner takes a prize consisting of a certain amount of money that often reaches thousands of dollars. The contest imitates the questions and answers television programs and has live presenters. Presenters such as Jimmy Kimmel or Bert - the character of Sesame Street - have appeared in HQ Trivia. The po[CENSORED]rity of the app fell this year, when it left the list of the best 100 applications of the App Store. Kroll also co-founded Vine, a video platform that catapulted dozens of influencers to fame. He also worked as an engineering manager at Yahoo, between 2007 and 2009. Twitter bought Vine in 2012 for US $ 30 million and in December 2016 announced that it would discontinue the mobile application.
