Partner of US Influencer Ashly Robinson Speaking to Police in Zanzibar Death Investigation
Joe McCann, the partner of deceased US influencer Ashly Robinson, is cooperating with Tanzanian police as a witness following her death in Zanzibar. Authorities confirmed that Robinson, known online as Ashlee Jenae, died after an apparent suicide attempt. While McCann’s passport has been withheld, no arrests have been made, and he is not currently suspected of wrongdoing. Robinson, 31, was found unconscious at the Zuri Zanzibar hotel and later died in the hospital. Her parents expressed confusion and grief, stating the tragedy makes little sense given her recent engagement and birthday celebrations during what appeared to be a dream holiday.

The investigation remains ongoing, pending official medical reports. The US State Department confirmed the death and emphasized the safety of Americans abroad. Robinson’s family is cooperating with authorities while seeking answers about the sudden and drastic change in circumstances surrounding her passing.
