Medical examiners determined Monday that Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh’s death was caused by complications of smoke inhalation, three days after he died at the hospital following injuries sustained in a house fire in Connecticut earlier this month.
Hsieh’s death on Friday was confirmed by DTP Companies, an organization that he launched with the goal of revitalizing the urban center of Las Vegas. A spokeswoman said the Nov. 18 fire occurred at a home in New London.
New London Fire Chief Thomas Curcio told The Courant there was only one fire with injuries in New London on Nov.
