Tanzanian authorities have launched an investigation into the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old US lifestyle influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort in Zanzibar. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being probed in connection with her death. According to reports, the couple had a heated argument before being separated by hotel staff, and Robinson was later found dead in her room.
Despite the police confirming her death as a suicide, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her passing. McCann has been questioned by the police and has been asked to remain in the country while the authorities await the results of Robinson's autopsy. The hotel where the incident occurred has expressed its condolences to Robinson's family and is cooperating with the local authorities.
Robinson's family has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs of her funeral and other expenses, and has raised over $50,000. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, is a prominent figure in the crypto industry, but his company has faced significant financial losses in recent years. The US State Department has offered its condolences to Robinson's family, but has declined to comment further on the investigation.
