An inquiry is ongoing into the death of Ashly Robinson, a Miami-based lifestyle influencer, who was found unresponsive in a luxury resort in Zanzibar, where she was celebrating her birthday and recent engagement to Joe McCann, founder of crypto investment firm Asymmetric. Although Zanzibar police have confirmed that Robinson died by suicide following a disagreement with McCann, they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. The couple had reportedly been involved in a heated argument and were separated by hotel staff before Robinson's death. McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been questioned by 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's firm, Asymmetric, has been in the news recently after he announced the shutdown of its Liquid Alpha Fund due to significant financial losses. The US State Department has offered its condolences to Robinson's family but has declined to comment further on the investigation.
