New heartbreaking details about Ashlee Jenae‘s death have been revealed.
As we previously reported, law enforcement confirmed on Thursday that the 31-year-old influencer, whose real name is Ashly Robinson, died by suicide while on a birthday-turned-engagement trip in Zanzibar, Africa, with her fiancé, Joe McCann. That means he is in the clear following the family raising suspicions after he essentially ghosted them. And with the investigation over, more information about what led investigators to this conclusion is coming out.

In a press conference on Thursday, Zanzibar Deputy Director of Criminal Investigation Zuberi Chembera shared that, while looking into her death, police discovered Ashlee’s devastating ChatGPT searches. He claimed the social media personality asked the AI chatbox in March, a month before her passing:
“How much Valium would kill me?”
Oh no…
Chembera also said texts sent by Ashlee to friends and family indicated she was depressed and distressed about her life, and some messages read like farewells to them. Watch the press conference (below):
