Philip Vasyli, founder of Vionic/Orthaheel, found dead

Philip Vasyli, founder of Vionic/Orthaheel, was stabbed to death at his home in the Bahamas. He was from Australia, but had been living in the Bahamas with his wife Donna for a period of time. The home was in a luxury gated community. His body was found in the dining room an estimated eight hours after his death from "numerous" stab wounds.

Donna was detained by police as a "person of interest" but so far she has not been formally charged with murder.

Numerous stab wounds = someone he knew did it. Sounds like wifey did it.

He looks really familiar. Didn't he do the presentations years ago?

I saw that he was dead (there are posts from hosts on FB with condolences). But I had no idea how he died until I read this. This is just terrible.

Sending prayers to his family and I hope and pray they solve the case asap. I cant imagine what theyre going through.

They did a tribute to him tonight at the end of Shoe Shopping. Liam was choking up, understandably.

Oh my…how sad. Liam announced it yesterday. He appeared quite upset, but held on.
