Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced millionaire who was facing federal sex trafficking charges, died by suicide early Saturday in his Lower Manhattan prison cell, law enforcement sources and the Bureau of Prisons confirmed to ABC News.
Epstein hanged himself, the sources said.
He was found unresponsive in his cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center around 6:30 a.m., the Bureau of Prisons said. He transported in cardiac arrest to New York Downtown Hospital at 6:39 a.m., according to sources.
Epstein, 66, was set to stand trial next year for allegedly sexually abusing dozens of minor girls in New York and Florida.
His death came less than three weeks after he was found unresponsive in his cell at the federal prison in Lower Manhattan, with marks on his neck that appeared to be self-inflicted, sources told ABC News. He was placed on suicide watch following the July 23 incident, but was not on suicide watch at this time of his death.
Epstein was arrested in July of this year for alleged sex trafficking of minor girls at his Upper East Side mansion and his home in Palm Beach, Florida. Some of the charges date back to the early 2000s.
Right now, the Clintons are trending on Twitter again, with their #clintonbodycount hashtag being high on the list.
While not nearly as numerous, #trumpbodycount is going up as well. People are arguing that Trump had something to hide too and he could have ordered the DOJ to do it. Of course, those people could just want to keep the Clintons out of the spotlight while looking for another way to get Trump out of office.
Do you think Epstein was just some rich guy that decided he would rather die than spend the rest of his life in jail, or do you think he was murdered under the orders of some person that had a chance of being implicated and it was set up to look like a suicide?
Honestly, it's probably a little of all of the above.
From the looks of it, there were people far more powerful than Trump or the Clinton's about to be exposed.
But you also have to understand that a man like epstien, who was used to a certain lifestyle. The idea of spending the rest of his life in prison was probably a lot to handle.
Another news article about it
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) led public calls Saturday demanding answers after disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell due to an apparent suicide.
“We need answers. Lots of them,” Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, tweeted.
Hmm... yeah. "SUICIDE" and wasn't watched enough after he had just attempted suicide.
Somebody aided in his suicide. That's just how big, rich criminals operate.
Seriously you could of spent less then 500 bucks and had a camera on this man 24 hours a day. This was a super high profile case with a lot of higher up people being part of this. He should of been watched more then any normal person prisoner. No matter what political affiliation you are people need to go down for what went on.

24 hour surveillance is the norm for suicide watch.
There is definitely foul play here.
Lol at the people that think the clintons still have the power or Influence to pull this off.
However Trump has been friends with epstien and the Clinton's for 20 years.
Until Epstein nailed Ivana when she was a teenager

Not saying the Clinton's did it but there was dirt on all kinds of people besides Trump.
@Gaming-Planet: sure there was. People far more powerful than the Clinton's or Trump.
More then likely Epstein was just allowed to take care of himself godfather Ii style
Mentioned among the people who were part of Epstein's pedophile ring? Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew.
There are members of two governments who had reason to want Epstein dead because of this.
It were the Keebler Elves. I've been telling you people for decades, that whole cookie thing is just a front.

Nah. The Keebler Elves just run an illegal marijuana operation. It's Santa's Elves that specialize in infiltration and dealing with those on the Naughty List.
High security prisons have camera's and backup power. This particular one is called the 'Guantanamo of New York.' Just watch the camera footage to see how he died.
There's a lot to learn from that footage.
I can't believe everyone is politicizing Epstein's death like this. I mean the body's not even cold.

It's because his death involves politicians and high profile people like Prince Andrew.

Not sure i'd quality that as political as the monarchy doesn't really hold political power anymore. Prince Andrew. himself is one of the lesser "who cares" members of the royal house-hold. Still, bad image is bad image. Gotta get that tourist money.

You should be able to believe it after looking at the potential results of making it political:
If it was proven that the Clintons had him killed, that would mean Republicans can brag the 2016 Democratic nominee was involved in one of the biggest political cover-ups in recent history and her actions can be used against the many Democrats that have endorsed or defended her. Certain media organizations could go down with them especially if it can be proven they helped cover up other crimes for political reasons.
If it was proven that Trump ordered his death, that would easily result in his impeachment, as well as the impeachment of any cabinet members that helped him carry out that order. It would all but guarantee that the White House would be back in Democratic control in the very near future, especially since Trump's impeachment/resignation would probably get Pence out of there too even if he had nothing to do with it, meaning Nancy Pelosi becomes president.
It's extremely easy to believe they could make the death of a rich pedophile that has connections to powerful people on both sides of the aisle political. Democrats use mass shootings to push gun control and Republicans use the deaths of U.S. citizens by illegal aliens (Mollie Tibbets, Kate Steinle) to push for stronger border security all of the time.
my guess is he killed himself. my guess is also someone with influence took him off suicide watch or paid people to look the other way. i'll admit i have zero evidence of this however.
Okay, first thing we need to do is eliminate everyone who didn'twant him dead...
...
Anyone?

The members of NAMBLA. They wouldn't want him dead.
Donald Trump personally walked into the cell and beat Epstein to death and then flipped off the camera.
Quote me on it.
Nah. If it were Trump, he'd do it on national television and use the video clip to campaign that he's tough on crime.

I'd think he could possibly be a liability. Not crossing that one off.
Jesus.
Good suggestion! I'll add him to my list.
Ok, so far I've got:
People who didn't want Jeffrey Epstein dead: Gandhi, Mother Terersa and Jesus. Just checked and the first two are already dead. Third one's more complicated depending on where you look but I think we can safely exclude him anyway.
Nice work boys, I can feel we're getting close.

I wouldn't include Gandhi or Mother Theresa on that list. Mother Theresa was rather notorious for her use of pain, and for some actions that would be considered torture by many, and Gandhi very much believed violence had power and even appropriate uses.
And Jesus resorted to violence in one memorable instance in the Bible, so he's not exactly adverse to its use when appropriate.
So it's quite possible not even they would have wanted Epstein to live.
If only he knew, like no documents to back things up, what would be the point in killing him? It would be words against words with no evidence to back it up.
If evidence exist, unless it was locked so only he could access it, killing him won't make that go away. So what am I missing here?
