Asos Co-Founder's Girlfriend Rejects Suicide Theory as Thai Police Outline Initial Findings

Thai police say initial checks show he was alone in a locked apartment.

Overview

  • Quentin Griffiths, 58, fell from the 17th floor of his Pattaya condominium on February 9, with police treating the case as a suspected suicide.
  • Investigators report the flat was locked from the inside, CCTV showed no one entering, and an autopsy found no evidence of foul play.
  • Girlfriend Jom Thipanongsri, 26, says she cannot believe he would take his own life and describes seeing no warning signs or medication use.
  • Coverage notes ongoing legal disputes with his ex-wife and reports that he was questioned at Bangkok’s main airport in January before being released, which he denied wrongdoing in.
  • Asos issued a tribute recognizing Griffiths as a co-founder, and the UK Foreign Office says it is supporting his family and liaising with Thai authorities.
