An investigation is ongoing in Zanzibar, Tanzania, surrounding the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old US lifestyle influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort villa on April 9. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being questioned by authorities. According to reports, the couple had been arguing and were separated by hotel staff before Robinson's death.
Although police have confirmed that Robinson died by suicide, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death and have withheld McCann's passport pending the outcome of the autopsy. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been asked to remain in the country while the investigation continues.
The hotel where the incident occurred has expressed its condolences to Robinson's family and is cooperating with the authorities. Robinson's family has set up a GoFundMe page to cover travel costs and other expenses, and has raised over $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 US State Department has offered its condolences to Robinson's family but has declined to comment further on the investigation.
