URGENT UPDATE: Co-founder of Asosa, Quentin Griffiths, has tragically died after falling from a skyscraper in Pattaya, Thailand. Local police have confirmed that Griffiths was found dead in his hotel room, with authorities stating he was alone at the time of the incident.
Authorities report that Griffiths’ hotel room was locked, and there were no signs of forced entry. A police investigator revealed to the BBC that Griffiths was reportedly under stress, having been involved in two ongoing legal disputes, including a contentious matter with his ex-wife regarding their joint business.
Griffiths, who co-founded Asosa in 2000, remained a significant shareholder even after leaving the company in 2005. His contributions during the early years of Asosa were acknowledged by a company spokesperson, who expressed condolences: “We are saddened by Quentin’s death. He played a crucial role in the earliest days of Asosa, and we are forever grateful for his contributions. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.”
Reports indicate that Griffiths had been residing on the 17th floor of a luxury hotel in Pattaya prior to his death. The investigation continues as authorities seek to determine the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
This unfolding story highlights the pressures faced by individuals in high-stakes environments, and it raises questions about the impact of legal battles on mental health. Asosa remains one of the leading companies in its field, with prominent shareholders including Danish billionaire Anders Holk Poulsen and businessman Mike Ashley.
