The co-founder of ASOS has died after falling from the balcony of his apartment in Thailand, Thai police have said.
Quentin Griffiths fell from the 17th floor of the apartment block in the seaside resort city of Pattaya on 9 February.
Officers went to the scene and found his body on the ground directly below the balcony.
Police said initial investigations suggest he took his own life and there are no indications of foul play.
CCTV showed no sign of anybody entering his apartment, where he lived alone, the force added.
His body has been sent for an autopsy, they added.
The police also quoted a Thai friend of Mr Griffiths saying he had been worried about lawsuits from his former wife, who is a Thai national.
Documents related to those lawsuits were found in the apartment, they added.

A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: “We are supporting the family of a British national who has died in Thailand and are in contact with the local authorities.”
