An assistant to hedge fund manager Seth Tobias, who died suddenly last month at age 44, told CNBC he has evidence that Tobias was murdered.

Tobias, who founded Circle T Partners and was a frequent guest on CNBC, was found dead on Labor Day weekend in the swimming pool at his home near Palm Beach, Florida.

At the time, a family member said Tobias' death was apparently a heart attack. But six weeks later, the death is still under investigation.

A police spokesman in Jupiter, Florida, told CNBC the death is not classified as suspicious but investigators are awaiting toxicology results.

Bill Ash, who said he was Tobias' assistant, told CNBC he had taped proof that Tobias was a murder victim and said he has been working with police.

Attorneys for both sides declined to comment but Ash is scheduled to give a deposition in the estate battle on Monday.

The $87 million fund manged by Tobias is being liquidated, according to an attorney for the fund. Two other Circle-T funds run by other managers remain intact.
