It’s been a month since Virginia Giuffre was found dead in her home, but many questions still linger about what happened after her passing—and where she finally rests.
The 38-year-old tragically took her own life on April 25 at her farmhouse in Neergabby, just north of Perth.
According to her family, the emotional and mental toll she was carrying had become too much to bear.
What Happened After Her Death?
Following her death, Virginia’s body was sent to the state mortuary for a post-mortem examination to confirm the exact cause of death.
After this, her remains were handed over to her estranged husband, Robert Giuffre.
As of now, her ashes are reportedly waiting to be collected at Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park in Perth.
Family and Friends Speak Out
Those close to Virginia have now opened up about how deeply hurt and shocked they feel by the way the situation has been handled—especially around her funeral arrangements.
A source close to Virginia shared with Daily Mail Australia how devastated they are that no funeral was held and no one was given notice.
“It’s absolutely heartbreaking,” the source said.
“We feel disrespected. Virginia deserved a proper farewell, but no one was even told. Her husband was so selfish, he wouldn’t let anyone else organize a funeral either.”
Her family in the United States and many others who cared about her had wanted to attend a service, but none of them were informed or invited.
Legally, Robert is recognized as Virginia’s next-of-kin, but the source insists that the situation is far more complicated than that.
Virginia’s Harrowing Past
Virginia Giuffre is known to many as a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s abuse.
She accused them of trafficking her as a minor—just 17 years old—to Prince Andrew.
While the Duke of York has consistently denied any wrongdoing, reports indicate he settled a lawsuit with Virginia for millions.
In the weeks before her death, Virginia had posted on social media that she only had “four days to live” following a car crash.
Police later described the incident as minor, but it seemed to underscore how fragile her state had become.
Personal Struggles and Family Life
At the time of her passing, Virginia was separated from Robert, her husband of 22 years.
They hadn’t finalized a divorce.
She also publicly expressed her heartbreak over being estranged from their three teenage children.
The couple’s relationship had deteriorated, with Virginia moving into their weekend farmhouse away from the family home in Perth, where Robert remained with the kids.
A Life That Took Many Turns
Virginia’s story is a complex one.
She escaped Epstein’s control after meeting Robert while on a massage course in Thailand—a course paid for by Epstein.
Their romance was swift and intense, leading to marriage within a week in 2002.
They initially settled on the NSW Central Coast before relocating to the U.S., and then back to Australia in 2020, where they bought a luxurious six-bedroom beachside mansion worth $1.7 million.
Unfortunately, their marriage broke down last year, which led to Virginia living separately in a $1.3 million farmhouse.
Remembering Virginia: Family’s Efforts
Virginia’s brothers, Sky and Danny Wilson, had been staying with her at the farmhouse during her final days.
Now, they’ve started a public fundraiser in her memory, knowing the division of her estate could take years.
Their goal is to raise $15,000 to build a public memorial in Virginia’s honor—a place where family, survivors, and supporters can come to remember her and reflect on her impact.
“Our intention is to create a permanent space where people can connect with Virginia’s legacy,” they explained. “She deserves a lasting mark on this world.”
What Comes Next?
Although Virginia’s body has been released from the coroner, the full investigation and official cause of death may take more than a year to be finalized.
Meanwhile, the questions about her estate, the funeral arrangements, and the ongoing impact of her story remain very much alive.
