General Discussion

“I've never seen my sister as physically broken down as she was then,” Sky said of the final three weeks they spent together. “She was really struggling, emotionally and physically. She could face a lot of things, but the idea of not seeing her children broke her.”

That night they went to bed and everything seemed normal, Sky said. The next day, he went to check on her. Hearing the sound of what he described as “meditation music” through her bedroom door, he decided to give her some space and left the house.

“We have always had this interconnected, twinsie thing and I just felt something was wrong,” Sky said, sobbing. He said he drove back to the house at about 8pm and knocked on her door. When Virginia did not answer, Sky tried to open it but found it locked. He broke the door down and found her unconscious. He attempted resuscitation for 45 minutes before paramedics arrived and declared her dead. Her brother did not wish to go into detail on the manner of her death.

Von Mueffling, who was keen to dispel any conspiracy theories that there may have been foul play, said: “She confided in me [in the weeks before her death] that she had planned to commit suicide, down to the method.” Von Mueffling counselled her against it and urged the brothers to go and be with her in Perth. “She was very clear that the pain was just too deep, she just couldn’t take it any more. It wasn’t a dramatic conversation, it was very matter of fact.”

Giuffre’s family issued a statement confirming she died by suicide on April 24, 2025, at her farm in Neergabby, Western Australia. They noted the “toll of abuse” became “unbearable,” suggesting mental health struggles.

Western Australia Police reported a 41-year-old woman (not named but matching Giuffre’s description) was found unresponsive at a Neergabby residence on April 25, 2025. Emergency services attempted first aid, but she was declared dead. Police stated “early indications” show the death was “not suspicious.”

Giuffre’s publicist, Dini von Mueffling, confirmed the suicide.

Giuffre was involved in a serious car accident in March 2025, hit by a school bus, which she claimed caused kidney failure and left her with days to live. She was hospitalized and discharged but reported ongoing health issues.

She faced significant personal challenges, including a restraining order from her estranged husband, Robert Giuffre, preventing contact with her three children (aged 19, 16, and 15) until June 2025. Her brother, Sky Roberts, described this separation as “the worst pain in the world.”

Giuffre’s cryptic Instagram posts in March and April 2025 expressed despair, including a claim she was dying and a farewell-like message: “Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all.”

Police found no evidence suggesting foul play, and major crime detectives investigating the case have not reported suspicious circumstances.

No reports mention physical evidence (e.g., signs of struggle, forced entry) contradicting the suicide ruling.
