Marco Troper, the 19-year-old son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, passed away in his dorm at UC Berkeley.
No foul play is suspected, with his grandmother suggesting a drug overdose as the cause.
“He ingested a drug, and we don’t know what was in it,” Wojcicki said, adding, “One thing we do know, it was a drug.”
Troper was a freshman math major and member of Zeta Psi fraternity.
Efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
“Berkeley Fire Department notified UCPD that they were attempting life-saving measures on the victim,” the University of California Police Department stated.
“UCPD responded, and Berkeley Fire Department pronounced the person deceased.”
The family aims to prevent similar tragedies.
“Marco’s life was cut too short. And we are all devastated, thinking about all the opportunities and life experiences that he will miss and we will miss together. Marco, we all love you and miss you more than you will ever know,” Wojcicki wrote.
Susan Wojcicki resigned from YouTube in 2023.
Overdose deaths in the US have been rising, with a focus on combating the fentanyl crisis in schools.
