ASOS Co-Founder Quentin Griffiths Dies in Thailand Balcony Fall as Police Continue Inquiry

Police report a locked room with no sign of entry pending final forensic findings.

Overview

  • Thai authorities identified Quentin Griffiths, 58, who was found on Feb. 9 below his 17th‑floor residence in Pattaya.
  • Investigators say the apartment was locked from the inside, CCTV showed no one entering, and an autopsy found no evidence of foul play.
  • Police have said initial inquiries suggest he took his own life, though no final determination has been made and further tests are pending.
  • The death occurs during active legal disputes with his Thai ex‑wife over alleged financial misconduct that he denied, with police noting those cases could have caused stress.
  • ASOS issued a tribute to its co‑founder, and the UK Foreign Office said it is supporting his family and liaising with local authorities.
