An investigation is ongoing in Zanzibar regarding the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old U.S. influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort villa where she was staying with her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of Asymmetric, a crypto investment firm. Despite initial reports suggesting Robinson died by suicide, her family has expressed doubts, and the police are still looking into the matter. The couple had allegedly been involved in a heated argument before being separated by hotel staff.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, is being questioned by the authorities and has been asked to remain in the country pending the outcome of the investigation. Robinson's family has set up a GoFundMe page to cover travel and other expenses, exceeding their target of $50,000.
McCann's firm, Asymmetric, has been in the news recently after he announced the shutdown of its Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses. The U.S. State Department has offered its condolences to the Robinson family but has declined to comment further on the investigation.
