Ashlee Jenae’s Fiancé Joe McCann Breaks His Silence & Releases Statement As She Is Laid To Rest
On Tuesday, May 5, Joe McCann took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a lengthy statement, breaking his silence on the death of Ashlee Jenae, also known as Ashly Robinson. Furthermore, McCann explained that “there are no adequate words to describe the total devastation, emptiness, and shock” he feels losing his “best friend, confidante, and fiancé.”
“As a father myself, I am also heartbroken for Ashly’s parents, Yolanda Endres and Harry Robinson. Ashly’s death is an incomprehensible tragedy,” he continued. “…Ashly cared deeply for the people closest to her, which to my eternal gratitude included me. She fattened me up with her amazing cooking and had a great relationship with my kids. Each day, we shared both quiet moments of reflection and the many joys of being in love with each other… What Ashly desired most was to become a mother and to raise a family together. There is no question that she would have been an amazing mom.”
Before concluding his lengthy statement, he referred to Jenae as an “angel who shined her light on everyone fortunate enough to be in her presence.”
“There is no way to fill the unfillable void left by Ashly’s passing and no way to make sense of this unfathomable loss. All we can do is carry on Ashly’s legacy of helping other people and strive to live up to her virtues every single day. Ashly, I love you forever,” he concluded.
To note, McCann reportedly shared his statement amid Ashlee Jenae’s being laid to rest at her funeral without his attendance on Tuesday, May 5. Per TMZ, her family did not invite him to the service.

More On Ashlee Jenae Being Laid To Rest
As The Shade Room previously reported, Ashlee Jenae, also known as Ashly Robinson, passed away on April 9 after being found unconscious in her hotel room in Zanzibar. Jenae had traveled there with McCann for her 31st birthday, and they had become engaged during the trip. Ultimately, it was reported that the discovery of her body was made after the hotel received reports about her and McCann having strong disputes, which sparked them being moved into separate rooms. To the public’s skepticism, it was reported that Jenae died by suicide.
In the weeks that followed, it was reported that Tanzanian officials were questioning Joe McCann as a “witness.”
Most recently, it was reported that Ashlee Jenae’s body was returned to her family without her belongings or engagement ring. KGW reports that Jenae’s “immediate cause of death” has been listed as “cerebral hypoxia due to strangulation and suffocation.” This, as her family awaits the results of their own independent autopsy.
