Am Telefon war die Freundin von Colin Kroll, der den Videodienst Vine und die Quiz-App HQ Trivia mit ins Leben gerufen hat. Als die Polizei in seiner Wohnung in Manhattan eintraf, fand sie Kroll leblos am Boden neben Drogenutensilien auf. F\u00c3\u00bcr eine Rettung war es augenscheinlich zu sp\u00c3\u00a4t. Es wird vermutet, dass der 34-J\u00c3\u00a4hrige an einer \u00c3\u0153berdosis gestorben ist. Offiziell wurde dies aber noch nicht best\u00c3\u00a4tigt. Kroll hatte im Jahr 2012 die Video-Clip-App Vine mitgegr\u00c3\u00bcndet, der mittlerweile nicht nur von Twitter \u00c3\u00bcbernommen, sondern auch eingestellt wurde. Sein n\u00c3\u00a4chstes Projekt war gemeinsam mit Rus Yusupov die Quiz-App HQ Trivia, die im letzten Jahr f\u00c3\u00bcr Aufsehen sorgte. Im M\u00c3\u00a4rz dieses Jahres konnte das Quiz auf mehr als 2 Millionen Nutzer stolz sein. Allerdings soll die Userzahl von HQ Trivia in der letzten Zeit zur\u00c3\u00bcckgegangen sein. Die App ist mittlerweile nicht mal mehr in der Liste der 100 beliebtesten Apps zu finden. In der letzten Zeit soll es auch im Management Probleme gegeben haben. Ein Sprecher des Headquarters von Intermedia Labs, dem Unternehmen hinter der Quiz-App in einer E-Mail zum Tod von Kroll: &#8220;Wir haben heute von dem Tod unseres Freundes und Gr\u00c3\u00bcnders Colin Kroll erfahren, und wir verabschieden uns mit tiefer Trauer. In dieser unglaublich schwierigen Zeit gehen unsere Gedanken an seine Familie, Freunde und Angeh\u00c3\u00b6rige.&#8221; Da sind auch unsere Gedanken und wir hoffen, dass bald aufgekl\u00c3\u00a4rt wird, was genau zum Tod des noch so jungen Kroll f\u00c3\u00bchrte.<\/p><div class=\"newss-content\" id=\"newss-1707713605\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7733425960004873\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7733425960004873\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2582020599\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><div class=\"newss-article-1\" id=\"newss-3265999204\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7733425960004873\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Homepage2 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7733425960004873\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2582020599\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Der Mitgr\u00c3\u00bcnder des Kurzvideo-Dienstes Vine und der Quiz-App HQ Trivia Colin Kroll ist in seiner Wohnung tot aufgefunden worden&#8230;.
