An inquiry has been launched into the alleged suicide of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old US lifestyle influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort in Zanzibar. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the cryptocurrency 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 died by 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 authorities. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been asked to remain in the country while the investigation is ongoing. Robinson's family has set up a fundraising page, expressing doubts about the official cause of death.
McCann's company, Asymmetric, has been in the news recently after he announced the shutdown of its Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses.
