An inquiry is ongoing into the alleged suicide of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old lifestyle influencer from Miami, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort in Zanzibar. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, the founder of crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being questioned by the authorities.
The couple had been celebrating Robinson's birthday and their recent engagement at the Zuri Zanzibar resort when they got into a heated argument, according to hotel staff. Despite the police confirming that Robinson died by suicide, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death and have withheld McCann's passport.
The hotel has expressed its condolences and is cooperating with the local authorities and the US Embassy. Robinson's family has set up a fundraising page, expressing doubts about the official cause of death.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, is a well-known figure in the crypto industry, having led Asymmetric, a hedge fund and venture firm backed by prominent investors.
