Tanzanian authorities are probing the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old US lifestyle influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort villa in Zanzibar. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being investigated following the incident. According to reports, the couple had a heated argument and were separated by hotel staff before Robinson's death. While police initially confirmed that Robinson died by suicide, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
McCann has been questioned by 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 and other expenses.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, is a well-known figure in the crypto industry, having founded Asymmetric, a hedge fund and venture firm backed by prominent investors.
