Marco Troper’s death: Suspected reason
The cause of Troper’s death remains unknown, and campus police say that there’s no evidence of foul play. However, Troper’s grandmother, Esther Wojcicki, has raised concerns about a possible drug overdose.
Esther Wojcicki disclosed to SFGATE that Troper had ingested a drug, though its contents are unknown. The family is awaiting a comprehensive toxicology report, which could take up to 30 days, for more information.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Esther Wojcicki remembered Troper as a “loving” and “math genius” freshman at UC Berkeley. Despite his academic dedication, Troper was also active socially, forming strong connections in his dorm at Stern Hall and joining the Zeta Psi fraternity.
