PRINCE Andrew's sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre hauntingly said she was "ready to go" just weeks before her tragic suicide.

The 41-year-old took her own life on Friday at her farm in Western Australia after years of fighting to bring to justice the rich and powerful people who abused her through evil Jeffrey Epstein.

Paramedics who were called to her home at around 9.50pm could not revive her and she was pronounced dead.

Police confirmed her death was being investigated but was considered "not suspicious".

Last night a lawyer for the victims of convicted child sex offender Epstein said he was not surprised the mum-of-three took her own life, given the torment she suffered.

Spencer Kuvin said: "Sadly we often witness that sexual abuse leaves lasting scars that never fully heal.

"The weight of these scars can be overwhelming for some, leading them to make tragic choices."

Another Epstein victim, who was abused as a teenager in Palm Beach, Florida, spoke of her anger that Virginia never got full justice.

She said: "They broke her. They chipped away at her spirit piece by piece, year after year.

"Virginia was a fighter. She carried all of our stories when we couldn't. And that weight - it's more than one person should have to bear."

In a statement Virginia's publicist Dini von Mueffling, described her as "a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking and someone who always put others ahead of herself.

And American-born Virginia's family said: "Despite all the adversity she faced, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure."

Her death came after a turbulent few months. She had reportedly split acrimoniously from her husband of 22 years, Robert Giuffre, who she credited with rescuing her from Epstein's control. They had three children, who she called "the light of my life".
