An investigation is ongoing 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 crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being questioned by authorities.
The couple had been celebrating Robinson's birthday and recent engagement at the resort when they got into a heated argument, according to hotel staff. Despite initial reports confirming Robinson's death as a suicide, police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. McCann's passport has been withheld, and he has been asked to remain in the country pending the outcome of the investigation. Robinson's family has expressed doubts about the cause of her death and has set up a fundraising page to cover travel costs and other expenses.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been a prominent figure in the crypto industry, but recently announced the shutdown of his firm's Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses.
