The 19-year-old son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki died suddenly at a UC Berkeley dorm earlier this week.
A freshman student was found unresponsive on Tuesday afternoon inside a dormitory at UC Berkeley’s Clark Kerr Campus. Around 4:23 p.m., Berkeley Fire Department said they were “attempting life-saving measures” on the student.
Sadly, the Berkeley Fire Department pronounced the individual dead shortly after responding to the emergency.
Authorities did not release a cause of death. UC Berkeley campus police said there were no signs of foul play.
Adam Ratliff, a spokesperson for UC Berkeley, said counselors created “healing spaces” for students to deal with the victim who suddenly died.
Days later, the student who died suddenly was identified as Marco Troper – the son of the former YouTube CEO.
Troper’s grandmother, Esther Wojcicki, remembered her grandson as “the most kind, loving, smart, fun and beautiful human being.”
In a Facebook post, the grandmother said her family is “devastated beyond comprehension” by the sudden death.
“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,” Wojcicki wrote….
