In a statement shared with People, her family announced, 'Giuffre lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors. Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure. The light of her life were her children Christian, Noah, and Emily.
'It was when she held her newborn daughter in her arms that Virginia realized she had to fight back against those who had abused her and so many others,' they added. 'There are no words that can express the grave loss we feel today with the passing of our sweet Virginia. She was heroic and will always be remembered for her incredible courage and loving spirit. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight. We know that she is with the angels.'
In 2019, Giuffre publicly accused Epstein of trafficking her when she was 17 and forcing her to have sex with him and his friends, including Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell. She has since advocated for justice for other sex traffic survivors.

Humvee in National Guard convoy overturns on Route 460 in Dinwiddie; 2 members seriously hurt
Two members of the Virginia National Guard were seriously injured June 7 when the Humvee they were driving as part of a convoy ran off U.S. 460 west and overturned in Dinwiddie County. Both men were thrown from the vehicle, even though they were wearing seatbelts, State Police Sgt. Jessica Shehan told The Progress-Index in an email. The driver was taken by ambulance to VCU Medical Center in Richmond, and the passenger was airlifted to the same hospital. Both suffered life-threatening injuries, Shehan said. It happened just after 3 p.m. on Route 460 between the Ford and Wilsons areas of western Dinwiddie. Shehan said the Humvee was towing a single-axle trailer in the convoy. Issues with the trailer caused the driver to lose control of the Humvee. In trying to regain traction, the driver ran off the right side of the highway, then overcorrected. That caused the Humvee to overturn several times. The convoy was headed in the direction of Fort Barfoot near Blackstone, the headquarters of the VNG, when the crash happened. Route 460 was closed in both directions for about three-and-a-half hours while the crash scene was investigated and cleared. A Virginia National Guard spokesperson told The Progress-Index he did not immediately have any details on the crash or which Guard unit was running the convoy.

State Police ID Guard soldiers seriously hurt in convoy crash on Route 460 in Dinwiddie
Virginia State Police say the Humvee that crashed June 7 on U.S. Route 460 in western Dinwiddie County was part of a Virginia National Guard unit's convoy en route to Fort Barfoot for training. Two soldiers from the unit – 24-year-old Emmanuel Andre Roberts of Woodbridge and 27-year-old Robert Moran of Staunton – were seriously injured in the crash, which happened shortly after 3 p.m. on Route 460 between the Ford and Wilsons areas of Dinwiddie. The Humvee was pulling a single-axle trailer when it ran off the highway and overturned several times. State Police Sgt. Jessica Shehan said the crash was caused by an issue with the hitch to the trailer. Roberts was driving, and Moran was in the front seat. Both were wearing seatbelts, Shehan said, but the impact of the crash still threw them from the vehicle. The Guard personnel were attached to the 116th Infantry regiment of the Delta Company's 3rd Battalion based in Warrenton. The convoy was on its way to Fort Barfoot, in Nottoway County near Blackstone and the headquarters for the Virginia National Guard for three weeks of training. The speed limit on Route 460 in Dinwiddie is mostly 55 mph in undeveloped areas, but it can reduce to 45-50 mph near certain intersections. Under U.S. Department of Transportation laws, a convoy travelling on a highway such as Route 460 must maintain the minimum speed limit or 40 mph if there is no posted limit. Shehan said the convoy was not speeding at the time of the crash, which is still under investigation.

‘NCIS: Hawai'i' Alum Jason Antoon Shares Clip Of Canceled Show's Vacant Studio Lot
A year after NCIS: Hawai'i ended its three-season run on CBS, the state's film and TV industry continues to suffer a decline in business. Jason Antoon, who played cyber intelligence specialist Ernie Malik on the police procedural spin-off, recently shared a video of the series' vacant and overgrown Hollywood Film Studio, where shows like Lost (2004-'10), Hawaii Five-0 (2010-'20) and Magnum P.I. (2018-'24) also filmed. More from Deadline 'NCIS Hawai'i' Cast Joins Together On The Beach To Celebrate Series 'Rescue HI-Surf' Canceled By Fox After One Season '9-1-1' Eyes Hawaii As Setting For Potential New Spinoff On ABC 'Hawaii Film Studios – Empty and full of weeds,' wrote Antoon, sharing the clip Friday on X. Hawaii is an expensive location that is harder to fit into continuously trimmed TV budgets, especially in linear TV. Cost was among the factors for CBS' decision to cancel NCIS: Hawai'i after three seasons, despite being the #12 most watched non-sports program on broadcast, averaging 7.8 million linear viewers and 10M multi-platform viewers (Live+35). After the cancelation last April, Antoon wrote on Instagram, 'This business is brutal and makes no sense. But we had soooo much fun. Love you all and mahalo.' Hawaii Film Studios – Empty and full of weeds. #NCISHawaii #MagnumPI #Hawaii50 #Lost 😢 — Jason Antoon (@jasonantoon) June 7, 2025 The actor's latest post comes after Fox's Rescue HI-Surf, which also filmed in the Aloha State, was canceled after one season last month. Although CEO Rob Wade said the reason for the decision 'certainly wasn't the locale or the budget,' filming in Hawaii made it one of the network's more expensive dramas, coming in at close to $4 million per episode. Meanwhile, Hawaii was passed over as the locale for the next 9-1-1 spin-off, which is instead filming in Nashville, starring Chris O'Donnell and premiering this fall on ABC. On Friday, Gov. Josh Green, M.D. released an intent-to-veto list, which includes HB796, a bill that would sunset tax credits after five years. 'This bill would have a significant long-term impact on income tax credits across a variety of industries, including film and television, research, and renewable energy,' said Gov. Green of the veto. 'These tax credits are critical to supporting economic development and diversification, particularly within growing and emerging sectors. Categorically sunsetting income tax credits will not only disincentivize future investors from doing business in Hawai'i, but will destabilize existing businesses that currently rely upon these tax credits.
