Quentin Griffiths, co-founder of online fashion retailer Asos, died after falling 17 stories from a luxury condominium in Pattaya, Thailand, on February 9. Thai police cited suicide as the initial cause, citing no signs of foul play, though Griffiths was embroiled in legal disputes, including a custody battle with his second wife over a joint business.

The 58-year-old British entrepreneur had left Asos in 2005 but remained a major shareholder until 2014 and later co-founded ventures like Achica and Adili. Asos confirmed his pivotal role in its early growth, noting its trajectory under figures like Rihanna and Michelle Obama.
