School authorities have confirmed the tragic passing of Susan Wojcicki's son in a UC Berkeley dormitory

In a tragic occurrence, 19-year-old Marco Troper, son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, was discovered deceased on Tuesday within a dormitory at the University of California, Berkeley.

Troper, a freshman enrolled in the mathematics program, was found unresponsive in a dormitory on the Clark Kerr campus around 4:23 p.m., according to details shared by KRON4, referencing school officials.

Although emergency responders made courageous efforts to revive him, unfortunately, their attempts were unsuccessful.

Upon their arrival, the Berkeley Fire Department swiftly initiated life-saving procedures, as reported by the University of California Police Department. Regrettably, Troper was pronounced deceased by Berkeley Fire Department personnel.

Although no signs of foul play were identified at the scene, Troper's grandmother, Esther Wojcicki, voiced concerns of a potential drug overdose as the cause of death.

Esther Wojcicki revealed to SFGATE, "He ingested a drug, and we don't know what was in it. One thing we do know, it was a drug."

Determined to prevent similar tragedies, Wojcicki, often referred to as the "Godmother of Silicon Valley" for her daughters' accomplishments, stressed the significance of shielding other families from such profound losses.

It is expected that a thorough toxicology report, which may take up to 30 days, will provide clarity on Troper's precise cause of death, as per reports from the outlet.

In a touching homage, Wojcicki lovingly remembered her grandson as "the most kind, loving, smart, fun, and beautiful human being."

"Our family is devastated beyond comprehension," she expressed in a heartfelt Facebook post on Wednesday.

Troper, displaying promising potential as a mathematics major, was navigating through his second semester at UC Berkeley and actively involved in the Zeta Psi fraternity.

Reflecting on the untimely demise, Wojcicki lamented, "Marco's life was cut too short. We are all devastated, contemplating all the opportunities and life experiences that he will miss and we will miss together."
