The 19-year-old son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki was found deceased at the University of California, Berkeley, on Tuesday. His grandmother, Esther Wojcicki, confirmed the devastating news in a Facebook post.
The student, identified as Marco Troper, was discovered unresponsive in his dorm at the Clark Kerr Campus, a student housing complex, around 4:23 p.m. local time. Despite immediate life-saving attempts by the Berkeley Fire Department, Troper was pronounced dead at the scene.
The University of California Police Department (UCPD) stated that there were no signs of foul play discovered, according to the New York Post.
The heartbroken grandmother took to Facebook to express her grief:
Tragedy hit my family yesterday. My beloved grandson Marco Troper, age 19 passed away yesterday. Our family is devastated beyond comprehension.
Marco was the most kind, loving, smart, fun and beautiful human being. He was just getting starting on his second semester of his freshman year at UC Berkeley majoring in math and was truly loving it.
He had a strong community of friends from his dorm at Stern Hall and his fraternity Zeta Psi and was thriving academically. At home, he would tell us endless stories of his life and friends at Berkeley.
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.
Details surrounding the cause of Marco’s death remain unclear. Still, Esther Wojcicki suggested to SF Gate that she suspects a drug overdose took her grandson’s life.
The family awaits the toxicology report to confirm the specifics.
“He ingested a drug, and we don’t know what was in it,” she said. “One thing we do know, it was a drug.”
“We want to prevent this from happening to any other family,” Esther Wojcicki added.
Susan Wojcicki was the Youtube CEO from 2014 to 2023. She resigned the day after the House GOP issued subpoenas for Big Tech CEOs at Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. While YouTube is a subsidiary of Alphabet, Wojcicki was not listed on the list of subpoenaed CEOs.
Under Wojcicki’s leadership, she urged more governments to enact speech laws to crack down on ‘unapproved’ online speech.
“Our recommendations for governments who want to have more control over online speech is to pass laws to have that very cleanly and clearly define such that we can implement it. There are times we see the laws being implemented or being suggested that they are not very clean or possible for us to cleanly interpret them. And we’ve also seen laws just passed for the internet as opposed to for all speech. And I do think that’s a dangerous area when we start to get in and say oh sure you can say something like this for a magazine or on TV but you can’t say it on the internet,” she said.
In April 2020, Wojcicki announced that anything said about COVID that contradicted the WHO talking points would be taken down. Now we know that the WHO, like the CDC, was lying all along.
Wojcicki was also responsible for the Infowars YouTube account being suspended again.
Wojcicki said that “a commitment to openness is not easy. It sometimes means leaving up content that is outside the mainstream, controversial or even offensive. But I believe that hearing a broad range of perspectives ultimately makes us a stronger and more informed society, even if we disagree with some of those views.”
This led to InfoWars’ War Room host Owen Shroyer making a new YouTube account, as her position should also apply to him.
In a sarcastic video, Shroyer announced that YouTube had announced that their InfoWars ban is lifted, of course, it wasn’t really. Still, based on Wojcicki’s statement, the team at InfoWars promptly made a new War Room account.
The account remained active overnight, with the video he posted getting widely shared across other platforms. The account was promptly removed when Vice News decided to write about it. An update to their article seems to humble-brag about their role in the censorship: “Shortly after this story was published, YouTube deleted Infowars’ War Room channel,” it says.
Someone should tell her, the globalist boots you lick, they did this. Your kid? Just collateral damage. (I guess this is only supposed to happen to former middle class white kids in flyover)
It’s part of every political life. Just look at Kentucky and other deep red states. It’s devastating.
YouTube started the demonetizes content at random so they do not have to pay you scam under other daughter.
The third daughter is a doctor and having read a few of her papers she carry's on the family trait of saying things that should could not possibly know are true.
Do not have a link because it is just stuff I picked up at various places.
Fairly safe to assume he took something not knowing it was laced with fentanyl.
If they didn’t censor “far-right news, including about the border, maybe her son would have known about the gazillion pounds of fentanyl and that everything is being laced with it.
Maybe if they didn’t censor the truth leading up to the 2020 election, Trump would be president her son would have had less of a chance getting something laced with fentanyl because a lot less would be coming across.

Harvard is private and can admit legacies.
Berkeley is a state school and cannot supposedly use legacy as an admission criteria. In fact, the way they discriminate against White people is to use “first generation” as an admissions filter - it’s a proxy for “child of an illegal alien”.
The current head of Berkeley openly admits that they use this to improve the “socioeconomic diversity” of UCB. Where she gets the authority to do that with our tax dollars I have no idea. But living in California you rapidly find out that the UC system is a daycare camp for the Socialists themselves and their enablers...like Susan “we stole your vid” Wojcicki.
Ok, thanks, and TOO FUNNY!

“Do not have a link because it is just stuff I picked up at various places”
You don’t need one. Anyone who has an actual search engine can find all that info on the internet in a few seconds. There was no reason for the question in the first place, poster was merely showing their own lack of knowledge.
Imagine 20 million illegals working in restaurants, hotels, nursing homes, and daycare, with a few bags each of fentanyl. Bon Appétit. Bon Chance.
“yes, and I bet there’s more than one out there in Berkely ingesting a drug.”
I’m beginning to think that the kids of the super-wealthy are TARGETED by the Deep State, not necessarily to be killed, but at least to be managed and grow up ‘properly’, because their future wealth presents a HUGE THREAT to them, as they see with Trump.
In this case, it’s possible that this kid was getting a bit ‘off the reservation’ and so was taken care of. No evidence for that, but long ago I accidentally lived in the most Leftist Dorm at ESU, but me and a handful of other conservatives didn’t change a bit - but then we also didn’t have money, so not much of a threat in the long term to them.
So he died a mostly peaceful death from a victimless drug; maybe. The toxicology report has not come back yet. For his sake, I hope death came in his sleep, and he did not have any breathing or other problems while conscious.
That’ll be Biden’s fentanyl that Mom voted for.
And I should finish my post by pointing out again that there’s no way Wojcicki’s kid got in as just another Poor Poverty Streeken Mexican Eeemegrant who worked HARD to get into de beeg school de stoopid greengos built.
He clearly WAS an under the table admit, although his grandparents and Susie are all Stanford people. Just the Ruling Class here takin’ care of their own. And another reason why hiring UCB grads is a risky business: to know them is to realize they ain’t nuthin’ special. Forty years of engineering in the Bay Area and I can tell you I met NONE of them that I thought were any better then the average state school kid from Iowa.
Sorry. But individuals make choices and must accept all consequences. If one embraces the neo pagan, hedonistic decadence that includes the casual use of mind altering drugs, death is more than an occasional consequence. Suspect the use of these drugs is more the norm in his dormitory, fraternity and math department at Berkeley than the exception. Sadly large numbers young people have spurned Christianity and have embraced neo paganism.
I think the way you posted is confusing. Esther Wojcicki is the Grandmother of the deceased. The mother of the deceased is Susan Wojcicki, one of the “scam” daughters you referenced.
Fentanyl ???
Is this the mother or the grandmother ???
Either way she may have thought illegal aliens coming through our Southern border bringing gifts was OK ...
Until it wasnt ...
In addition to legacy admissions, there are special non-legacy admissions for children of big donors to the endowment funds.
I do, too.
He died five days ago.
Unless they rushed the tox screen, I doubt they’d have the results back already.
Wonder if they conducted a full autopsy.
If they didn’t, I really smell a rat.
People don't go to the internet for "mainstream" content.
She would ban the kind of content that might have pressured politicians into taking stronger action at the border that might have saved her own son.
