Investigation Underway into Death of Influencer in Zanzibar
An inquiry is ongoing into the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old lifestyle influencer from Miami, who was discovered unresponsive at a private villa in Zuri Zanzibar, a luxury resort where she and her fiancé, Joe McCann, were celebrating her birthday and recent engagement. According to reports, Robinson died by suicide following a dispute with McCann, but her family has expressed doubts about the circumstances surrounding her death. The local police have launched an investigation and are awaiting the results of Robinson's autopsy, with McCann being questioned and asked to remain in the country. McCann, the founder of crypto investment firm Asymmetric, has had his passport withheld by the authorities. The hotel where the incident occurred has offered its cooperation to the investigation and expressed its condolences to Robinson's family. A GoFundMe page has been set up by Robinson's family to cover travel costs and other expenses, exceeding its target of $50,000. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been a prominent figure in the crypto industry, but recently announced the shutdown of Asymmetric's Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses.
