BANGKOK – The tragic passing of Quentin Griffiths, co-founder of online retail giant Asos, has been officially attributed to a 'catastrophic over-indulgence in the very lifestyle he helped create,' according to a preliminary report released today by the Thai Ministry of Existential Consumerism.

Griffiths, who remained a significant shareholder after departing the company five years ago, reportedly succumbed to what experts are calling 'acute bargain fatigue' following an incident involving a high-rise apartment balcony. Sources close to the investigation suggest his final moments may have involved attempting to 'add to cart' a particularly elusive pair of heavily discounted distressed jeans.

“Our forensic analysis indicates Mr. Griffiths’s system was saturated with microplastics from countless polyester blends and an alarming concentration of dopamine spikes from impulse purchases,” stated Dr. Anya Sharma, lead pathologist for the Department of Post-Mortem Retail Analysis. “It appears his physical form simply could not sustain the psychological burden of perpetually seeking the next great deal.”

Local authorities found several unopened packages from various online retailers near the scene, leading to speculation that the sheer volume of impending deliveries may have induced a state of 'delivery anxiety-induced vertigo.' A spokesperson for the Global Institute of E-Commerce Ethics, Professor Miles Corbin, commented, “This serves as a stark reminder: even the architects of our consumerist paradise are not immune to its gravitational pull. One cannot simply *build* a digital shopping empire without eventually being consumed by its endless scroll.”
