An investigation is ongoing in Tanzania into the death of Ashly Robinson, a US social media influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort in Zanzibar. Robinson, 31, was on vacation with her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of crypto investment firm Asymmetric, celebrating her birthday and their recent engagement. According to local police, the couple had a heated argument before Robinson's death, which was initially reported as a suicide.
However, her family has expressed doubts about the official cause of death and has set up a fundraising page to cover expenses related to the incident. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been questioned by police and has had his passport withheld pending the outcome of the investigation. The hotel where the incident occurred has offered its condolences to Robinson's family and is cooperating with the authorities.
The US State Department has also offered its condolences, but has declined to comment further on the matter. McCann's firm, Asymmetric, has been in the news recently after announcing the shutdown of its Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses.
