Earlier on Saturday night, Frolka sent a tweet from his Twitter account implying his experimentation with psychedelic drug DMT.
“I’ve never done DMT and tonight is about to change s***,” the tweet read.
Police cannot confirm whether or not the drug caused Frolka’s death until autopsy and toxicology reports are complete. Bath Township police Det. Sgt. Gary Smith said the report, which could take several weeks, will include whether or not Frolka had the drug in his system at the time of his death.
Frolka, a marketing sophomore, was a local aspiring rapper who went by the name of “D-Fro.” He produced music in his dorm room and had previously performed in Detroit, Flint, Ann Arbor, Muskegon and Atlanta.
