British online retailer ASOS co-founder Quentin Griffiths was found dead in Thailand after falling from the 17th floor in Pattaya. The incident occurred on February 9, but only now became widely publicized after official statements from the police. According to Chonburi police, the 58-year-old Briton fell from the balcony of his apartment on the upper floors of a residential complex. There were no signs of forced entry or struggle in the room, the door was locked from the inside, and surveillance cameras did not record any unauthorized persons entering or leaving the apartment. The investigation is considering suicide as the main version, but has not officially ruled out other circumstances, noting that the final results of the autopsy may appear later. Documents related to several lawsuits, in which his ex-Thai wife participated, were found in his apartment. According to media reports, she accused Griffiths of fraud with corporate property and assets, including forgery of documents in the sale of land and company shares. Police believe that these legal disputes may have led to the psychological stress he was struggling with before the tragedy. Quentin Griffiths and partners founded ASOS in London in 2000 under the name As Seen on Screen. The brand grew into one of the world's largest online fashion retailers with millions of customers worldwide. He left the company in the mid-2000s, but remained a major shareholder for a long time. The British Foreign Office has confirmed that it is in contact with the family of the deceased and is providing assistance in the investigation with the Thai authorities. What exactly happened that evening, and whether it was a tragedy triggered by the pressure of personal and legal problems, or something else, will be known after the official investigation is completed.
