The girlfriend of Asos co-founder Quentin Griffiths expressed disbelief over his apparent suicide by falling from a 17th-floor balcony. Jom Thipanongsri, 26, revealed her shock at the tragic incident in Thailand, where Mr. Griffiths was found deceased in his luxury flat in Pattaya. Thai authorities reported that initial investigations indicated Mr. Griffiths was alone in the locked room when he fell, with no signs of foul play detected during the autopsy.
In a recent statement, Ms. Thipanongsri disclosed that those close to Mr. Griffiths never expected him to take his own life, citing no prior warning signs or indications of mental health issues. She conveyed her deep sorrow and described him as a special person and her hero, expressing love and daily longing for him since his passing.
Mr. Griffiths, who had divested his ownership in Asos for a significant sum in 2011, had been in a relationship with Jom following his separation from his second wife. The couple frequented high-end establishments in Pattaya and enjoyed activities like tennis at exclusive venues. The entrepreneur had also been engaged in legal disputes with his ex-wives over custody matters and financial allegations.
Asos paid tribute to Quentin Griffiths, recognizing his pivotal role in the company’s early stages and extending condolences to his family and friends. The fashion brand acknowledged his contributions and expressed gratitude for his involvement.
