I just learned that Virginia Guiffre committed suicide in April.

I just heard that on the Midas touch video.
Well, she fought hard and when she realized nobody was ever going to do anything about Epstein and all the pedophiles he coordinated, she just gave up with a broken heart. That is so fucking sad. Imagine how she felt. 😢

Maybe, maybe not. Ultimately, Epstein and his friends are responsible for her death. 2MuchNoise Jun 29 #4

...saying if she ever died by suicide, that it would be murder.

That post is from 2019, which was likely one of those periods when the Epstein files were in the news, either because of Trump or the Prince Andrew case. Since then she evidently had some kind of cancer, so there's enough reasons to doubt one way or the other.

I think that, back in February, she claimed that a car she was driving was struck forcefully by a bus in a traffic accident. A few days later, she posted that she had only a few days to live. The truth of her claim and post was controversial. Not long afterward, she committed suicide.

I am sad over the abuse she experienced earlier in her life

When I read suicide I thought it made perfect sense.
I mean if we were sick when *hole won the election, think how she felt. I'd like to know more. I don't believe for a minute that Epstein committed suicide.
We will never know for sure. But the big orange *hole needs to pay for what he did to all those young girls.

She lived in a rural area of Western Australia, north of Perth. Her marriage had recently broken down and it appeared that she was in an emotionally very shaky place.

Then there was the 'car accident'. Plenty of witnesses said it was a minor scrape, including the driver of the school bus with which she collided. She had been frequently in the news in previous months.

Don't take this next statement as gospel - it's my own observation; she was filmed more than once carrying large packs of beer and smoking. I have no moral issues about this, it's her business. But it may indicate that under the stress on other matters, she was drinking more alcohol than was healthy and this may have been a sign that she was not coping.

Her death made me extremely sad; a young woman who suffered terrible abuse but never fully recovered.
