Share this @internewscast.com

A Miami-based lifestyle influencer has tragically passed away at the age of 31 under what are being called ‘suspicious circumstances’ shortly after getting engaged while on vacation in Zanzibar.

Ashlee Jenae, whose real name was Ashly Robinson, was discovered unresponsive in her villa at the Zuri Zanzibar resort. She was quickly transported to a nearby hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead a few hours later.

Initial reports from Tanzanian authorities suggested that Robinson’s death was a suicide.

However, her family and friends have strongly contested this claim, insisting that she was vibrant and full of life.

Robinson had traveled to Zanzibar with her fiancé, Joe McCann, to celebrate her birthday, which fell on April 5.

During this trip, McCann, who is the founder of the crypto investment firm Asymmetric Financial, had asked for her hand in marriage during a safari adventure.

In her final post, she wrote: ‘Chapter 31 and I’m exactly where I need to be.’

Savannah Britt, a public relations executive and close friend of the deceased, has publicly disputed claims that Robinson died by suicide.

In a viral post, she stated: ‘Anyone who knows Ash knows she would NEVER commit suicide. 

‘We need answers now!’

The exact location where the influencer was found remains subject to conflicting reports, with some sources claiming she was inside her hotel room and others stating she was found outside.

No official autopsy or toxicology results have been released to the public.

Tanzanian authorities are continuing to handle the active investigation into the circumstances surrounding her passing.

Robinson had accrued over 80,000 followers on Instagram by documenting what she called a ‘soft life’ philosophy of positivity, as reported by NeedToKnow.

Tributes have flooded in for the social media star.

Commenting underneath her final Instagram post, uploaded on April 5, one said: ‘My heart is broken hearing what happened.

Another wrote: ‘May you rest in peace Ashlee. May God bring justice and peace to you and your family. Such a bright and beautiful light inside and out.’

A third penned: ‘Rest in peace, my friend I told you that I wanted to meet you, but I will miss you dearly. RIP, my friend, your life was taken too short.’

Robinson often shared loved up photos of herself and her fiancé McCann to her social media.

She documented their lavish life together, which appeared to include frequent vacations.

Before their holiday, the couple enjoyed front row seats to a Portland Trail Blazers as well as a ski trip to Bend, Oregon.

Robinson celebrated her one-year anniversary with McCann on November 3.

At the time, she documented their milestone with a photograph of them standing together in front of a body of water.

She captioned the post: ‘365 down. Here’s to forever.’
