An inquiry is ongoing into the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old Miami-based lifestyle influencer, who was found unresponsive in a private villa at a luxury resort in Zanzibar. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being questioned by the authorities.
According to reports, the couple had a heated argument before being separated by hotel staff, and despite the initial confirmation of Robinson's death as a suicide, the police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. The hotel has expressed its condolences and is cooperating with the local authorities and the US Embassy.
Robinson's family has set up a GoFundMe page, expressing doubts about the official cause of death and seeking to raise funds to cover travel costs and other expenses. 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 the autopsy. The US State Department has offered its condolences to the family but has declined to comment further on the investigation.
