Tanzanian officials are reportedly questioning Ashlee Jenae, or Ashly Robinson‘s fianc, Joe McCann, following her death in a Zanzibar hotel.
According to 6abc Action News, officials in Tanzania have reportedly confiscated the passport of Ashlee Jenae’s fianc, Joe McCann. This, reportedly, while he is being questioned by authorities.
Per PEOPLE, the authorities are reportedly speaking to McCann as a “witness,” and he has not been arrested.
According to 6abc Action News, on Tuesday, April 14, Jenae’s parents spent the day in Washington, D.C., reportedly trying to “obtain information from the embassy.”
“No one wants to talk to us. Just let us know what happened, that’s the only thing we want to know is the truth,” Harry Robinson, Ashlee Jenae’s father, reportedly told the outlet.
To note, Zanzibar’s Ministry of Tourism and Heritage also released a statement on the case on Wednesday, April 15.
Social media users continued sharing thoughts on the death of Ashlee Jenae, a.k.a. Ashly Robinson, and her fianc, Joe McCann, in TSR’s comment section.
While Instagram user @nicolewhitedesignsinteriors added, “No one is flying 15 plus hours to go commit suicide Please arrest that man”
While Instagram user @trenae_marshay added, “Hes not gonna get away with this!! God will get him! Justice for Ashlee ”
While Instagram user @iamstevejones added, “They can hold him over there for life, ATP.”
As The Shade Room previously reported, Ashlee Jenae had traveled to Zanzibar to celebrate her 31st birthday with Joe McCann. During their trip, McCann proposed. However, they allegedly got into an argument and were separated into two different rooms at their hotel.
On April 9, McCann allegedly discovered Jenae in her hotel room and called her mother, Yolanda Denise Endres.
“He told me that Ashly did something to herself and she was being taken to the hospital… he told me it had been 11 hours prior,” Endres told 6abc Action News.
McCann reportedly alleged that he found Jenae had hung herself. Since then, her family has been searching for answers about what really happened, having reportedly learned that she had an “unidentified mark around her neck.” According to 6abc Action News, a second hospital listed Jenae’s cause of death as “cerebral hypoxia by strangulation and suffocation.”
Lastly, 6abc Action News reports that an autopsy for Ashlee Jenae, a.k.a. Ashly Robinson, will be completed on Wednesday, April 15. Amid this, her family is reportedly seeking to travel to Zanzibar as they continue to request to see hotel footage and answers from authorities and Joe McCann.
