      Whoa this is kind of a big deal:

      “I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,” her post says.

      This was back at the beginning of April no less.

      For those who don’t know kidney failure is fucking awful. I’m not going to say how it compares to cancer but it’s a way I hope I don’t someday go.

        Good catch. I didn’t read this article (it was just the first I found), but I didn’t remember that from when it originally broke.

        Edit: also weird that it is not mentioned in this article on her suicide. Probably just shitty journalism.

          It’s a very weird case. ABC Australia had an article on her hospital stay as it was ongoing which raised some questions without definitively answering them.

          While Giuffre had posted about going into kidney failure, ABC reported:

          The family of Virginia Giuffre, a prominent accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew, says she remains in a “serious condition while receiving medical care” after a bus crash in Western Australia.

          But the Perth hospital where she’s staying denies that characterisation, as police maintain the crash was “minor”.

          Giuffre was later discharged from hospital after treatment. Reading between the lines, it seems that she wasn’t going into kidney failure when she posted to Instagram about it.

          Whether that means she was incorrectly informed that she was dying, or was confused due to sedation, or was suffering from poor mental health, etc. is not reported.

          If she has now committed suicide, that would seem to make it more likely that mental health had a role in the initial post about her physical health.

          In addition to any ongoing trauma relating to her abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew, Giuffre no doubt had additional strain due to her recent separation from her husband and estrangement from their three teenage children.

      She had some major medical issues, an ongoing court case, and a custody battle with her ex, so there was a lot of sadness in her life recently on top of all the abuse she’d experienced growing up. Maybe that was cover for an assassination, but there’s a much more mundane story to explain events.

    Why are so many accusers dieing by suicide in the same day?

    May they rest in peace.

    If she did, she was cornered into this. Driven to it, explicitly. It was not an organic outcome of a series of tragic events, she was corralled.

    Or, maybe she didn’t do it any more than Epstein did.

    We’ll never know.
