Tanzanian authorities are probing the death of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old US influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort in Zanzibar. Her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric, is being investigated in connection with her death. The couple had been celebrating Robinson's birthday and recent engagement at the Zuri Zanzibar resort when they got into a heated argument, according to hotel staff. Despite being separated and sent to different rooms, Robinson's death was later confirmed as a suicide by local police.
However, her family has expressed doubts about the official cause of death and has set up a GoFundMe page to cover expenses. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been asked to remain in the country while the investigation continues.
The hotel has expressed its condolences and is cooperating with the authorities. The US State Department has also offered its condolences to Robinson's family but has declined to comment further on the investigation.
