An investigation is ongoing into the alleged suicide of Ashly Robinson, a 31-year-old US lifestyle influencer, during a trip to Zanzibar with her fiancé, Joe McCann, founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric. The couple had been celebrating Robinson's birthday and recent engagement at the luxury resort Zuri Zanzibar when she was found unresponsive in a private villa on April 9.
Despite initial reports confirming her death as a suicide, police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. According to hotel staff, the couple had a heated argument and were separated twice before Robinson's death.
McCann, who has an estimated net worth of $45 million, has been questioned by police and has had his passport withheld pending the outcome of the investigation. Robinson's family has expressed doubts about the official cause of death and has set up a GoFundMe page to cover travel costs and other expenses. McCann, a prominent figure in the crypto industry, had recently announced the shutdown of Asymmetric's Liquid Alpha Fund following reports of significant financial losses.
