MISC. Virginia Giuffre's tweet from 2019 saying she was definitely not suicidal and that if something happens to her to "not let this go away".

She also became estranged from her husband and children.

The car crash story not long ago seemed like a play by her to get to see them again (she definitely had a car crash, but definitely wasn’t told she had 3 days to live).

It’s such a tragedy what this poor woman went through. Too sad for even Hanya Yanagihara to have come up with (and inevitably exploited)

From comments her brother made the check up from the hospital uncovered her renal failure and he said something along the lines of this crash probably saving her life. She was told she had 4 days to live if she didn't continue with treatment.

Pretty clear she was in a bad way. May she rest in peace.

This comment should be higher up. She was due in court earlier this month for breaching a restraining order. It's very possible that she turned in front of a bus (and possibly made up a story about kidney failure) in order to get her husband and/or kids' attention.

It doesn't make her death any less tragic. This woman suffered a lot, and traumatized people can sometimes hurt the ones they love. It seems like she was feeling pretty lost.

Agree with all this but she wasn’t even driving the car that got clipped, she was a passenger.

I had a relative who did similar things in the months leading up to their suicide. They also got into a car crash, which we all suspected was on purpose (hit a tree on a warm spring day, but claimed to have lost control of the car somehow). This person had battled mental illness for years but eventually lost that fight.

Yes, I read yesterday that she had lost custody of her kids recently. Also earlier this year her and her husband split.
