An inquiry is ongoing into the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old US lifestyle influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury villa in Zanzibar where she was vacationing with her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric. According to hotel staff, the couple had a heated argument and were separated twice before Robinson's death. Although the police initially confirmed that Robinson died by suicide following a 'misunderstanding' between the couple, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been questioned by the police and has been asked to remain in the country pending the outcome of the investigation. Robinson's family has expressed doubts about the official cause of death and has set up a fundraising page to cover travel costs and other expenses.
McCann, a prominent figure in the crypto industry, had recently announced the shutdown of his hedge fund, Asymmetric's Liquid Alpha Fund, due to significant financial losses.
