Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his Manhattan jail cell by suspected suicide, according to several reports.
‘Heads must roll’: Outrage at how high-security jail could let Jeffrey Epstein die
For reasons still unclear, the jet-setting 66-year-old financier, who had faced up to 45 years in prison on charges of sex-trafficking dozens of teenage girls — accusers who have also implicated many in his circle of powerful, wealthy pals — had recently been taken off suicide watch, officials said.
Epstein, who was being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, reportedly committed suicide, hanging himself in his jail cell, according to reports from the New York Times and ABC News. According to the Associated Press, “The medical examiner’s office in Manhattan confirmed Epstein’s death.”

Epstein’s death raises serious questions’
The FBI and the Department of Justice’s Inspector General were opening investigations, US Attorney-General William Barr said, adding that he was “appalled” to learn of his death in federal custody.
“Mr Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered,” Mr Barr said in a statement.
At the MCC, two jail guards are required to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed overnight, according to the source, who was not authorised to speak on the record.
In addition, every 15 minutes guards are required to make another check on prisoners who are on suicide watch.
Mr Epstein was housed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU), even though guards are required to remove prisoners on suicide watch from the unit, according to a Twitter post by Preet Bharara, a former US attorney for the Southern District of New York.
The SHU separates inmates such as accused sex offenders deemed likely to be harmed by other prisoners from the general population.
Mr Epstein had been confined to the correctional centre while he appealed a district judge’s refusal to let him live under 24-hour guard in his opulent townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
After Mr Epstein’s arrest, prosecutors said a search of his townhouse, conducted under a warrant, uncovered evidence of hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of nude photographs of “what appeared to be underage girls”, including some photos catalogued on compact discs and kept in a locked safe.
An attorney for Mr Epstein said prosecutors and the press had “blood on their hands”.
Marc Fernich said reporters, plaintiffs, lawyers and court officials “should be ashamed of their behaviour” following Mr Epstein’s indictment last month.
He said in a statement that jailers at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre failed to protect Mr Epstein and to prevent the “calamity” of his death.
Apparently, Epstein was human scum, but those who killed him, whether by commission or omission, are worse.
There’s no way he’s dead (yet)!
JUST LOOK AT THE EARS!
Killing him ran the risk of him having some of those “To Be Released Only In The Event Of My Untimely Death” -type exposures of damning evidence to destroy those he thought would murder him (insurance policies)!
More likely is they made him a deal, got him to cancel those (at least temporarily) and have either put him in witness protection, &/or are holding him in a government dungeon so they can use truth serum and torture to find out where he stashed said evidence, before really murdering him and then either cremating the remains, or using the real body to replace the fake one, so they can then run DNA tests on it!
