Incident Details
Quentin Griffiths, the co-founder of the online fashion retailer Asos, was identified by Thai police as the individual who died after falling from a building on 9 February 2026 in Pattaya, a seaside town in eastern Thailand.
Authorities responded last Monday night following a report that a man had fallen from an 18-floor condominium and was discovered deceased on the ground below, according to a police investigator who spoke with the BBC.
The investigator stated that Griffiths, who held a British passport, was alone at the time. His room was locked from the inside, and there was no evidence of forced entry. An autopsy found no signs of foul play.
Background on Quentin Griffiths
Griffiths co-founded Asos in 2000 and maintained a significant shareholding after his departure from the company five years later.
Additional Information
Police also revealed that Griffiths was involved in two ongoing legal cases, which may have contributed to his stress.
Additional reporting was provided by Thanyarat Doksone in Bangkok.
