The family of 31-year-old Ashly Robinson wants answers after she died while on holiday in Zanzibar.
Her partner, Joe McCann, has had his passport withheld as investigations continue. Authorities said that he was cooperating as a witness and was not suspected of wrongdoing.
Robinson had travelled to Zanzibar to celebrate her birthday. She was later found unconscious in her villa before dying in the hospital. Police indicated she may have attempted to take her own life, but her parents said the circumstances ''didn't make sense''.
