Tanzanian authorities are investigating the death of Ashly Robinson, U.S. influencer and fiancée of Joe McCann, founder of Asymmetric, a crypto investment firm, after she was found unresponsive in a luxury resort villa in Zanzibar. The couple had been celebrating her birthday and recent engagement. Despite police confirmation that Robinson, 31, died by suicide following a misunderstanding, her death remains under investigation.
Hotel staff reported that the couple had a heated argument and were separated twice before being sent to separate rooms. McCann, whose net worth is estimated at $45 million, has been questioned by police and has had his passport withheld pending the outcome of the investigation. Robinson's family has expressed doubts about the cause of her death and has set up a GoFundMe page to cover expenses.
McCann's company, Asymmetric, has been in the spotlight after announcing the shutdown of its Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses. The U.S.
State Department has offered condolences to the Robinson family but has declined to comment further on the investigation.
