What cause of death is listed on Virginia Giuffre's official death certificate?

1. What the major outlets reported: “died by suicide”

Several major news outlets and aggregator pages in your search results described Giuffre’s death as a suicide: Wikipedia’s article states she "died by suicide in April 2025" ^[1], NBC’s clip description says she "died by suicide in April" ^[2], The New York Times obituary reports she "died" at her Western Australia farm without quoting a certificate but is grouped with other outlets that used the suicide formulation ^[3], and The Guardian reports the death "will be investigated but is not considered suspicious" and links to earlier social-media posts about a car crash; that piece also describes her death in the context of reporting it as a suicide ^[4].

2. What is NOT in these sources: the death certificate text

None of the supplied sources include an image, transcription, or direct quotation from Giuffre’s official death certificate, nor do they quote the exact phrase used on that certificate (for example, "suicide," a specific mechanism, or an attached coroner’s ruling) ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}. The Virginia Department of Health page in your results is a general vital-records information page and does not pertain to Giuffre’s certificate or Australian records ^[5]. Therefore, available sources do not mention the exact cause-of-death wording on an official death certificate.

3. Jurisdiction and record access matter

Giuffre’s death was widely reported as occurring in Western Australia (The New York Times and other outlets) ^{[3] [4]}. Vital-record procedures and public access rules differ by jurisdiction; the Virginia Department of Health page in your results governs Virginia state records and is not the issuing authority for a death that reportedly occurred in Australia ^[5]. The provided sources do not address Australian coroner releases or how to obtain a Western Australia death certificate for Giuffre ^{[5] [3]}.

4. Investigations, family statements and uncertainty in reporting

The Guardian notes the death "will be investigated but is not considered suspicious" and cites social-media posts and a recent car-bus collision as context ^[4]. Wikipedia cites a statement from Giuffre’s Australia-based attorney saying the coroner would determine the cause of death "in due course" ^[1]. These items indicate contemporary reporting relied on family statements, attorney remarks and news-gathering rather than publication of a final coroner’s certificate in the supplied material ^{[1] [4]}.

5. Competing framings and implications

Media outlets converged on the description "died by suicide" ^{[1] [2] [4]} while also noting investigations and contextual questions ^[4]. That combination—explicit language about cause alongside references to pending coroner findings and family commentary—means public narratives were definitive in phrasing but, in the materials you provided, not supported by a reproduced official death-certificate document or a quoted coroner’s formal ruling ^{[1] [2] [4]}.

6. How to get the authoritative certificate or coroner’s finding (what the sources imply)

Because the supplied records do not include the certificate itself, the most direct path to the official cause-of-death wording—consistent with how outlets described events—would be to consult the relevant Australian state coroner’s office or the Western Australia Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages; none of the supplied sources provide that document or an Australian agency citation ^{[5] [3]}. The Virginia Department of Health page in the search results concerns Virginia vital records and therefore is not the issuing authority for a death reported in Western Australia ^[5].

Conclusion: The supplied sources report that Virginia Giuffre "died by suicide" in April 2025 and note that her death was to be investigated, but they do not publish or quote her official death certificate or the exact wording on it; the certificate itself is not found in the current reporting you provided ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}.
