An inquiry has been launched into the death of Ashly Robinson, a US influencer and fiancée of Joe McCann, founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric, after she was found unresponsive in a private villa at the luxury Zuri Zanzibar resort. The couple had been celebrating Robinson's birthday and recent engagement when they got into a heated argument, according to hotel staff, who separated them twice before Robinson's death. Despite the police confirming that Robinson died by suicide, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death and have withheld McCann's passport.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been questioned by the police and has been asked to remain in the country pending the outcome of the investigation. Robinson's family has expressed doubts about the official cause of death and has set up a GoFundMe page to cover travel costs and other expenses.
The hotel has offered its condolences to the family and is cooperating fully with the local authorities and the US Embassy.
