As new details emerge in the startling death of lifestyle influencer Ashlee Jenae, everyone from Cardi B to Joe Schmoe has an opinion on the unsettling case.
Born Ashly Robinson, the Miami-based influencer was celebrating her 31st birthday with a luxurious trip to Tanzania with her older white fiancé, Joe McCann, 45, who she had been dating for about a year and a half, according to her parents. McCaan surprised his girlfriend with a romantic proposal during a safari, complete with a rare albino lion. Ashlee shared the intimate moments with her 120,000 Instagram followers, painting a picture of a promising future full of love and leisure.
“Chapter 31 and I’m exactly where i need to be,” she wrote on April 5.

However, just days after her dreamy birthday and engagement, the trip turned into a nightmare when she was found unresponsive in her hotel room and then rushed to a local hospital. Ashlee died the following day, on Friday, April 10. McCann, a cryptocurrency dealer in the United States, reportedly told authorities that she died by suicide, specifically by hanging in a wardrobe using cloth from her dress.
Earlier, the couple had an argument so intense that the staff at Zuri Zanzibar, the hotel they were staying at, had to intervene and separate them into different rooms. Local authorities were contacted because of concern about Ashlee’s well-being, according to a report from TMZ.
BBC reports that Zanzibar’s North Unguja police chief Benedict Mapujira said the case was reported late last Wednesday at a nearby police station after hotel staff raised the alarm over a guest suspected to be suicidal.
