Colin Kroll, the co-founder of the popular "HQ Trivia" game and the "Vine" video app, was found dead in his New York City apartment on Sunday. Kroll's girlfriend asked the New York Police Department to check up on him after she failed to get in touch with the tech executive, according to TMZ. In recent years, Kroll was named the CEO of HQ. The game live-streams short trivia contests and quickly became popular after it was released in 2017. Kroll also co-founded Vine, a now-defunct app that allowed users to create, post and share six-second videos.
