The multimillionaire former CEO of online shoe store Zappos died on Friday, nine days after he was dragged unconscious by firefighters from a blazing Connecticut house in the middle of the night.

Tony Hsieh, who was worth an estimated $840 million, had retired three months earlier from the billion-dollar business he helped found, and was just 46 years old.

The alarm was raised at 3:30am on November 18 and firefighters forced their way into the New London home after being told someone was trapped inside, according to fire chief Thomas Curcio.

Hsieh needed CPR on the scene of the fire and was airlifted from an initial hospital in New London to a facility in Bridgeport.

Hsieh had been with one of brothers in Connecticut, TechCrunch reports, but it is not known if anyone else was injured in the blaze.

  1. Dies, huh? One of those CEO’s who needed to safe face.

    Since Trump started the draining of the swamp, almost 14,000 CEO’s resigned worldwide.
