An inquiry is ongoing into the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old Miami-based 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 questioned by the authorities. The couple had been celebrating Robinson's birthday and their recent engagement at the resort when they got into a heated argument, according to hotel staff.
Despite the police confirming that Robinson died by suicide, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. 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 fundraising page, expressing doubts about the official cause of death. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been asked to remain in the country while the authorities await the results of Robinson's autopsy.
The incident has sparked widespread media attention, with the US State Department offering its condolences to Robinson's family but declining to comment further on the investigation.
