Millionaire pharma exec Gigi Jordan - who killed 8-year-old son - found dead inside NYC home in possible suicide
NY Post ^ | 1/01/23 | Joe Marino, Dean Balsamini

Gigi Jordan, the millionaire pharmaceutical executive convicted of manslaughter in the death of her 8-year-old son, was found dead inside her Brooklyn home in what cops are investigating as a possible suicide, The Post has learned.

Her body was found around 12:30 a.m. Friday at her apartment in in Stuyvesant Heights, according to sources - just hours after US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued an order that was expected to send Jordan, 62, back to prison.

The cause of death has yet to be determined, but sources said a note was found at the scene.

It marks what may be the final chapter in a long tale full of bizarre twists and turns.

Jordan was accused of force-feeding her autistic son, Jude Mirra, a lethal dose of pills in February 2010 inside a luxury suite at the Peninsula Hotel.

During a strange six-week trial, Jordan’s defense lawyers argued she killed the boy while in a state of extreme emotional disturbance, fearing he was about to be murdered by her ex-husband.

A Manhattan jury acquitted her of the top murder count, but found Jordan guilty of manslaughter in 2014.

Jordan was sentenced to 18 years in prison - but a federal judge tossed her conviction in 2020 over a procedural misstep.

Murder suicide survivor who only successfully completed one leg. Deeply unhappy individual who looks like she’s had a lot of work done on her face, perhaps in an effort to keep her man. Unfathomably sad for both mother and son.

So she was afraid her husband was going to kill her son, therefore she killed her son.

All this talk from the parents about who might be doing the killing? Im not familiar with this entire story.

I’m guessing at least the Mom was overwhelmed by this child’s autism and didn’t ask for the help she very easily could have afforded. Even though some women can become pregnant very late in life, its not always a good idea.

The chance of autism is increased with older parents, plus most older people dont have the sufficient energy or patience for childrearing at that stage of life.

“My God what a soul less face.”

72 and not a wrinkle in sight.
Plastic surgery and Botox has that effect.
As for the eyes, when you know you’re guilty how surprised are you supposed to be when the guilty verdict comes back? Those eyes belong to someone who’s just waiting for the hammer to fall.

Wow, Sotomayor on the correct side of a judicial ruling? This Jordan lady must have angered everybody!

Has a child at 42 and it’s autistic. Who’d have thunk it?

Sometimes your role in life is to be a warning for others, and this fits the bill.

She kept hitting the sleep button on the clock until the button fell off and in her last moments was probably wondering where it all went wrong.

You know how, until you have kids, the act of a parent throwing their kid out the window is incomprehensible?

After you have kids, it stays unforgivable, it cries out for punishment - but it isn’t incomprehensible any more?

I deal with parents of severely disabled children, some of whom have lived long enough to become adults. Almost all of the time, their parental love and selfless devotion puts me to shame. Every once in a while, they break under the burdens they bear.

And when they do, punishment is just. This woman undoubtedly judged herself and reached the same conclusion.

But I do understand.

One factor they are currently investigating is that autism is higher in those who were not breast fed as babies. A mother's first milk, called colostrum, is extremely important in helping development of the immune system, and may prevent autism.

This lady who killed herself is not the motherly type. I seriously doubt she breast fed the child she killed.

So...the Wise Latina killed her?

Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire……she didn't escape punishment at all, she just hastened the one that counts the most.

In her case, she obviously had resources for respite care so she did not have to bear burdens alone.

For the poorer and less supported among us, it can be a nightmare. I would need serious help if I had a big difficult autistic child.
