An investigation 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, 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 Zuri Zanzibar resort when they got into a heated argument, according to hotel staff. Despite the police confirming that Robinson's death was due to 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.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been asked to remain in the country while the police await the results of Robinson's autopsy. Robinson's family has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover travel costs and other expenses, and has raised over $50,000. McCann's firm, Asymmetric, has been in the news recently after he announced that he would be shutting down the company's Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses. The US State Department has offered its condolences to Robinson's family, but has declined to comment further on the investigation.
