Big Pharma Exec Convicted of Killing Her Autistic Son Found Dead

Fact checked

Gigi Jordan, the multimillionaire Big Pharma executive who was found guilty of killing her 8-year-old autistic son by injecting him with a syringe full of lethal ingredients inside an upscale New York City hotel room, was found dead at home on Friday morning.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor had issued an order hours earlier revoking Jordan’s bail. The 62-year-old was convicted of manslaughter in 2014 in connection to the death of her autistic son, Jude Mirra.

The Big Pharma executive, originally from Belgium, admitted to using a syringe to plunge a lethal cocktail of painkillers, tranquilizers and sleeping pills mixed with alcohol and orange juice down the boy’s throat inside their $2,300-a-night suite at the luxury Peninsula Hotel in Manhattan in February 2010.

Fox report: Part of her defense was that she intended a murder-suicide, as Jordan had also ingested several medications and emailed a relative, who reportedly alerted authorities. But prosecutors argued that as her autistic son was dying, she used her laptop to pull $125,000 from his trust fund, New York Daily News reported.

Jordan was sentenced to 18 years in prison on the manslaughter charge, but a Manhattan federal judge in 2020 granted bail amid her ongoing appeals for a new trial.

Her appeals focused on 15 minutes during which the courtroom was briefly closed to the public during her trial.

Lower courts have maintained that Jordan’s Sixth Amendment right to a public trial was not infringed upon.

“At one point during the two-month trial, the trial court closed the courtroom to the public for approximately fifteen minutes to hear arguments about a website and email by petitioner that accused the court of undermining the fairness of the trial,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office wrote to the Supreme Court last month. “The only impact of the closed proceeding was that, once the courtroom reopened, the court repeated an earlier instruction to the jury not to consume media coverage about the trial; later the same day, the court unsealed the minutes of the closed proceeding and two exhibits that had been marked during it.”

Citing unnamed officials, WNBC reported that Jordan was found dead in a bathtub, with a note nearby, just five minutes after midnight Friday morning inside a Brooklyn residence she was renting. Not immediately ruled a suicide, a medical examiner will determine the official cause of death.

Jordan’s lawyer, Norman Siegel, also confirmed her death to news outlets. The attorney said he last spoke to Jordan by phone around 7:30 p.m. Thursday and she “sounded in good spirits.”

“It’s unbelievably sad. Gigi Jordan had a lot to offer society,” Siegel told Daily News. “In the end, she did not have her opportunity to contribute to society.”

  1. She was 62, yes she was on trial since she was 54, but if all she had done by then was take millions on profits from plundering society then its not likely she would have anything worth “contributing” anyway.

  2. How many others were harmed or killed by the poison pharma vaccines & drugs made by the company she owned or worked for? Was her son autistic after getting a vaccine? Crimes against humanity demand execution.

  3. Every single time. Kohberger, Weinstein, Epstein, etc. can these demons really only be 2 percent of the population cause they make for 99.5% of the headlines in Weimar America…
