On April 29th, influencer Ashley Janae died suddenly at age 31, while vacationing in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Her family's go-fun meet to cover travel and funeral costs blew past the $50,000 goal and hit nearly 64,000 by late April. She passed away on April 9th after being found unresponsive in her hotel room. Earlier that week, on April 6th, Ashley and her fiance, Joseph McCann, checked into the Zuri's Zanzibar hotel. Staff separated them into different rooms, following an argument, though details remain unclear. Police are investigating the cause, questioning McCann as a witness with his passport on hold while awaiting medical reports. Her sister Alyssa spoke out, saying she talked to Ashley just hours before and everything seemed totally normal. Ashley sounded thrilled about her engagement and turning 31, posting happy vacation picks with wildlife and rose petal surprises. The family got her body back to New Jersey on April 24th and ran their own autopsy.

They're missing her engagement ring and some belongings, but a funeral is set for early this week. Meanwhile, Tanzania officials keep digging into what happened, as her loved ones push for straight answers amid the grief.
