Lifestyle Influencer Ashlee Jenae Dead After Being Found Unconscious Inside Zanzibar Villa

Police say the 31-year-old died by suicide after a dispute with her fiancé, while investigators hold his passport and question him.

  • On April 9, lifestyle influencer Ashly Robinson, 31, died at the Zuri Zanzibar hotel in Tanzania; authorities are investigating and questioning her fiancé, Joseph McCann, who remains under custody.
  • Police claim a "misunderstanding" between Robinson and McCann led hotel staff to separate them into different rooms before the incident. Authorities stated she died by suicide, though her family disputes this conclusion.
  • Alyssa Endres, Robinson's sister, told NBC News "everything was completely normal" shortly before the death. Parents Harry Robinson and Yolanda Denise Endres said the loss "doesn't make any sense" and are seeking answers.
  • Police are holding McCann's passport pending autopsy results as questioning continues. The family launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover repatriation costs, raising $40,000 as of April 15 toward their $50,000 goal.
  • For those in crisis, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available at 988 or by texting HOME to 741741. Additional resources are available at SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources.
