An inquiry has been launched into the alleged suicide 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 probed 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 died by suicide, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. McCann has been questioned by the police and has been asked to remain in the country until the forensic results from Robinson's autopsy are available. The hotel has expressed its condolences to Robinson's family and has offered its full cooperation to the local authorities and the US Embassy.
Robinson's family has set up a GoFundMe page to cover travel costs and other expenses, and has raised more than its target. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, is a well-known figure in the crypto industry, but his firm has faced significant financial losses in recent times.
