No Foul Play? Police Probe Harry Yeh’s 30th Floor Death Dive

The mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Harry Yeh, managing partner and founder of Quantum Fintech Group, an investment fund that managed over $2 billion, continue to be investigated by local police.

Nonetheless, due to the state of Yeh’s remains, no toxicology test could be executed as no blood could be extracted to determine if he was under the influence of any substances before his death.

“He said he saw him wandering through parts of the building completely naked. And it just so happens that the very next day, this person fell to the ground in that same state of nakedness,” Ávalos declared during an interview.

Ávalos pointed out that Yeh could have been “mentally affected or had a substance abuse problem or some medication that could have unbalanced him.”

Regarding foul play, Ávalos did not rule it out but stressed that entering the zone without being seen was difficult because of the complex’s safety measures.

“My impression is that entering that area is a bit complicated because they have all the security measures in place, and the people entering that tower are also subject to the security protocols implemented by the complex itself,” he concluded.
