An inquiry has been launched by Tanzanian authorities into the death of Ashly Robinson, a US social media influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort in Zanzibar. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the cryptocurrency investment firm Asymmetric, is being investigated in connection with her death. 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 initial reports suggesting Robinson died by suicide, the police have stated that 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 pending the outcome of the investigation. Robinson's family has expressed doubts about the official cause of death and has set up a fundraising page to cover travel and other expenses.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency industry, but his firm has faced significant financial losses in recent times.
