NEERGABBY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA: Virginia Giuffre, who became one of the most vocal survivors in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and brought a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew, has died by suicide at the age of 41, according to a report from NBC News.

Giuffre died on Thursday, April 24, at her farm in Neergabby, Western Australia, where she had been living in recent years.

On March 30, Sunday, Giuffre caused widespread alarm after sharing an emotional Instagram post where she mistakenly said she “had just four days to live.” The 41-year-old included a photo of herself bruised and lying in a hospital bed, claiming she had been hit by a school bus.

Virginia Giuffre remembered as 'fierce warrior' by family after death 

In a statement released by her family, Virginia Giuffre was remembered as “a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking,” describing her as “the light that lifted so many survivors.”

The family acknowledged the heavy emotional burden she carried, saying, “Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure. The light of her life were her children Christian, Noah, and Emily.”

The statement continued, “It was when she held her newborn daughter in her arms that Virginia realized she had to fight back against those who had abused her and so many others. There are no words that can express the grave loss we feel today with the passing of our sweet Virginia. She was heroic and will always be remembered for her incredible courage and loving spirit. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight. We know that she is with the angels.”

Giuffre gained international attention after publicly accusing Epstein and the Duke of York of misconduct involving her as a minor, including in a widely followed 2021 lawsuit in New York. Her claims formed a critical part of the broader investigation into Epstein, and she became a powerful figure in the fight for justice for trafficking victims.

A native of Florida, Giuffre said she was first recruited into Epstein’s circle by his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell when she was just 16. Over the years, she continued to advocate for other survivors, helping bring global attention to the exploitation hidden behind powerful institutions.

Epstein took his own life in a New York City jail cell in 2019, not long after facing federal charges.

“Virginia was much more than a client to me, she was a dear friend and an incredible champion for other victims,” said attorney Sigrid McCawley. “Her courage pushed me to fight harder, and her strength was awe-inspiring. The world has lost an amazing human being today. Rest in peace, my sweet angel.”

Attorney Sigrid has been at the forefront of the fight for justice, standing up for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and those who enabled his crimes.

Old tweet from Virginia Giuffre resurfaces

Just hours after reports emerged that Virginia Giuffre had died in Western Australia, a chilling old tweet of hers began circulating widely on social media.

In the resurfaced post, Giuffre explicitly stated she was “not suicidal” and had documented those concerns with both her therapist and doctor.

In the tweet, which is now being widely shared across platforms, she wrote: “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal. I have made this known to my therapist and GP — if something happens to me — in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quiteted.”

The unsettling post, paired with the timing of her death, has reignited concern about the circumstances surrounding her death.
