Thai Police Probe Death of ASOS Cofounder Quentin Griffiths After 17th-Floor Fall in Pattaya

Thai police say they will await forensic results before ruling out foul play.

Overview

  • Griffiths, 58, was found dead on February 9 outside a residential complex in Pattaya, with authorities later confirming his identity and notifying the British Embassy.
  • Investigators are examining whether the fall was accidental, a suicide, or involved third parties, and they continue to review security-camera footage.
  • An investigator quoted by the BBC said he was alone in his room, the door was locked from the inside, and there were no signs of robbery or a physical struggle.
  • Reports differ on autopsy findings, with some citing no immediate evidence of a crime and others noting a full report may take months, leaving the official cause unresolved.
  • Griffiths co-founded ASOS in 2000 and left an executive role in 2005; he had lived in Thailand since 2007 and was recently embroiled in a legal dispute with a Thai ex-wife.
