Virginia Giuffre‘s attorney is addressing her past comments concerning the nature of her client’s death.
Days after she was quoted saying that there were “big question marks” over Giuffre’s apparent suicide, Karrie Louden clarified her remarks, explaining that she was not trying to spread doubt.
“I would like to set the record straight as things I said have been misinterpreted,” she told People in a May 2 statement, saying that she does not believe Giuffre’s death was “suspicious in any way.”
“The Coroner will determine in due course the cause of death and that will be established based on the evidence,” she continued, emphasizing that she’s “not critical of the police” or asking for authorities to look further into Giuffre’s passing. “The police are only able to release limited information to non-family members as is their standard procedure.”
Louden added, “The police are already conducting an investigation and will no doubt provide all of their evidence to the Coroner.”
