An inquiry is ongoing into the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old lifestyle influencer from Miami, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort in Zanzibar. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, the founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being investigated by local authorities. The couple had been celebrating Robinson's birthday and their recent engagement at the Zuri Zanzibar resort when they got into a heated argument, according to hotel staff.
Despite police initially confirming 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 while they await the results of Robinson's autopsy. The hotel has expressed its condolences to Robinson's family and is cooperating fully with the local authorities and the US Embassy. Robinson's family has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover travel costs and other expenses, and has raised over $50,000.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, is a well-known figure in the crypto industry, but recently announced that he would be shutting down his Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses.
