Virginia Giuffre's final post as cause of death revealed in Epstein files
Virginia Giuffre’s cause of death has been confirmed in documents included in the latest release of files connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most outspoken accusers, died by suicide in April 2025 at the age of 41.
For years, Giuffre alleged that Epstein, with the assistance of Ghislaine Maxwell, operated a sex trafficking ring that supplied underage girls to powerful men for sexual services.
The sprawling investigation unfolded over several years, drawing in numerous high-profile figures and prompting widespread public demands for transparency and the full release of all case-related records.
In what the Department of Justice described as the final disclosure, approximately 3.5 million previously unreleased documents and images tied to the investigation were made public.
Among them were materials that allegedly referenced Giuffre’s cause of death, as well as what the Daily Mail described as “deeply personal emails from her closest confidant.”
Emails reportedly revealed details about her death
According to the outlet, certain private messages were briefly made public before being swiftly redacted. The emails were said to shed light on Giuffre’s state of mind in the months leading up to her death.
The Daily Mail reported that emails from fellow Epstein survivor Maria Farmer were mistakenly included in the release.
In one message dated May 8, 2025, Farmer allegedly disclosed Giuffre’s cause of death, writing: "She died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound last week at her home in Australia," after Giuffre died at her farmhouse in Neergabby, north of Perth, on April 25, 2025.
The message was reportedly sent to several recipients, including US lawyer David Boies and attorney Sigrid McCawley, both of whom represented Giuffre during her extended legal battles.
Giuffre’s official cause of death had not previously been made public.
Virginia Giuffre's final social media post
Just before she passed away, Giuffre posted a heartbreaking statement to social media where she claimed she only had days to live.
"This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can." she wrote.
Giuffre continued: "I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.
"I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day.
"Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all."
Maria Farmer’s emotional tribute and frustration
Maria Farmer is among the earliest known individuals to accuse Epstein of abuse. She has long maintained that she attempted to alert authorities to the financier’s alleged misconduct years before the allegations became widely known.
The artist has said she reported Epstein and Maxwell to law enforcement in the 1990s after alleging she had been sexually assaulted, but claimed her complaints were ignored.
The subject line of Farmer’s reported email read: "Abusing public victims has real consequences". In the message, she expressed profound grief over Giuffre’s death, writing: "I have no idea how to survive now.
"She was our leader, our purpose. This is agonising for her children, especially her little girl.
"No one should ask so much of public victims. I struggle hour to hour to remain tethered to earth. Now we are hero-less.
"My raison d'être was Virginia. I'm an old woman without children. I wanted to have a child like V, brave and strong. She was pure LIGHT."
Farmer also voiced anger over the timing of the file releases, stating: "The FBI needs to feel DEEP SHAME and cough up my reports. They need to apologise, though now nothing matters.
"My entire fight was to get justice for this young lady. She was ALWAYS ON MY MIND, like Willie Nelson sang. Always. On. My. Mind.
"I reported to FBI TEN YEARS PRIOR TO THIS HERO BEING KIDNAPPED AND RAPED AS A CHILD!!! This is the most devastating sorrow and now nothing will ever be ok again.
"Nothing will be ok without Virginia here loving her children and animals. I will never be ok.The FBI really damaged society when they refused to listen to the fact children were being harmed!"
