The co-founder of online fashion giant Asos has died in a mysterious balcony fall in Thailand.

Axar.az informs, citing The Sun, multi-millionaire retail entrepreneur Quentin Griffiths, 58, plunged from his 17th floor condo.

Police did not find any sign of a disturbance inside the apartment but have not ruled out foul play until more tests on his body.

It follows a bitter row with his Thai ex-wife after she accused him of stealing £500,000 from the company they ran together.

He was arrested last year and quizzed by detectives when she claimed he had forged documents to sell land and shares in the firm without her knowledge.

Griffiths insisted he was innocent and was released after questioning. The probe was ongoing.

It should be noted that ASOS is a UK-based online retailer of clothing and cosmetics founded in London in 2000. The company primarily targets a young audience.
