Colin Kroll’s body was discovered after his girlfriend called cops because she’d been unable to get a hold of him, according to sources.

The unnamed gal pal and cops went to his SoHo apartment on Spring Street, where his body was discovered in the bedroom just after midnight.

Marijuana and heroin were found nearby, and he was declared dead at the scene, the source said. Cops said an envelope containing white powder was also recovered.

HQ Trivia marketing director Andrew Watts tweeted Sunday: “What the f–k. I’m heartbroken. What.”

It's a sad and tragic end.

Money, success, and fame aren't enough to save you from making poor choices.

Prolly fentanyl laced H

I know someone who died from firing up H laced with fentanyl

His last words were “wow it turns pink when you cook it I’ve never seen dope do that”

He fired it up anyhow and was puking foam from mouth and nose with 30 seconds after registering and slamming

Just like that

When I heard I looked up fentanyl in heroin on google

First results were

“Usually turns pinkish when heated in a spoon”

People strung out on Boy ain’t gonna stop cause it’s pink I can tell you

Leftist states are pushing pot hard. Libertarians are all on board. Most who are into heavy drugs use incorporate pot and/or have started off with pot (gateway drug).

The gateway thing is nonsense
Pot cannibis is not toxic
Everything else is

The deterioration of the English language in American is accelerating. They should have written,”She was unable to contact him.” Now that is correct and efficient.

Vine (/vaɪn/) was a short-form video hosting service where users could share six-second-long looping video clips. The service was founded in June 2012, and American microblogging website Twitter acquired it in October 2012, before its official launch. Users' videos were published through Vine's social network and could be shared on other services such as Facebook and Twitter. Vine's app could also be used to browse through videos posted by other users, along with groups of videos by theme, and trending, or popular, videos. Vine competed with other social media services such as Instagram and Mobli.

And for that he received 30 million from twitter in 2012 and it is now defunct.
