A 31-year-old Miami influencer was found dead in a luxurious Tanzania resort in mysterious circumstances, and her family is seeking answers.
Ashly Robinson, better known online as Ashlee Jenae, was discovered unconscious in her room at the Zuri Zanzibar hotel. She was taken to the nearest medical facility, where she was declared deceased several hours after admission.
An active investigation into Robinson’s mysterious passing away is already in progress, according to her relatives.
Ashly Robinson traveled to Zanzibar to celebrate her birthday on April 5th. During her trip, her fiancé, Joe McCann, surprised her with a marriage proposal during a safari. The event was described by Robinson’s family as memorable. The couple stayed at the Zuri Zanzibar, a luxurious resort, when Ashly fell ill.
“One moment she was celebrating love and life in truly Ashly fashion, and the next, she was gone,” the Robinson and Endres families noted in their joint statement. “The suddenness, the unanswered questions, and the distance from home have made this tragedy even more overwhelming for our family.”
This statement was posted by Savannah Britt, a friend of Ashly Robinson, urging attention to the case.
“I find it very alarming that an American woman died abroad days ago and prior to my initial tweet nothing had been said from our State Department, Tanzanian government, or local media,” she wrote.
The Robinson and Endres families stated that they are helping Zanzibarian authorities with the ongoing investigation, but asked everyone to consider all information, except that coming from the family, as unreliable.
“Ashly was deeply loved. She was vibrant, full of life, and had so much ahead of her,” the joint family statement concluded. “Our family is completely devastated.”
No public statements have been made by the U.S. State Department or Tanzanian authorities yet.
