Ilya Zhitomirskiy, the co-founder Diasora
Ilya Zhitomirskiy, the co-founder of up and coming social networking site Diaspora, was found dead at his home in San Francisco over the weekend.
Police confirmed Monday that the young entrepreneur’s death was a suicide. “In this case it appears to be a suicide,” Officer Alvie Esparza told CNN. “However, the medical examiner’s office will make the final decision.”
New reports suggest that Zhitomirskiy’s mother hadn’t heard from her son in several days. So she contacted his roommate, who then broke down his bedroom door to find Zhitomirskiy dead. He was 22 years old.
“Ilya was a great guy,” said Peter Schurman, a spokesman for Diaspora. “He was a visionary, he was co-founder of a company that hopes to bring a better social networking experience and we are all very sad he is gone. It is a huge loss for all of us, including his family,”
