the Police in New York have officially announced that they do not consider the Krolls deaths as suspicious. What the specific cause of death will be determined by a subsequent autopsy.
In 2012, developed Colin Kroll the very popular video app Vine.
the App was more or less shut down in 2016, as it no longer was possible to add videos to it. Wines were a form of YouTube, where you could share videos with her friends.
The small clip on Wines could be a maximum of last six seconds, where on YouTube can have a longer duration.
The fact that you will not be able to add multiple videos to Vine from 2016, got the app to fall in popularity, as the meaning was precisely that one should be able to share small videos with the outside world.
