Tanzanian authorities are investigating the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old Miami-based lifestyle influencer, who was found unresponsive in a private villa at the luxury Zuri Zanzibar resort. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being questioned by police. The couple had been celebrating Robinson's birthday and recent engagement in Zanzibar when they got into a heated argument, according to hotel staff, who separated them twice.
Despite the police confirming that Robinson died by suicide following a 'misunderstanding' between the couple, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death and have withheld McCann's passport. Robinson's family has expressed doubts about the cause of her death and has set up a GoFundMe 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 Asymmetric's Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses.
