Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire who had recently been indicted on charges of sex trafficking, has been found dead of an apparent suicide in his jail cell. According to a statement from the Department of Justices Federal Bureau of Prisons, Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell in the Special Housing Unit from an apparent suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City at 6:30 a.m.
The Associated Press reported that Fire officials received a call at 6:39 a.m. Saturday that Epstein was in cardiac arrest, and he was pronounced dead at New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital.
The FBI is now investigating the incident.
Jerry Dunleavy, a reporter at the Washington Examiner, spoke by phone with the Spokesperson for NYCs Office of Chief Medical Examiner, who told him: We are investigating the cause of death and we have an open case. There is no official cause of death yetthe medical examiner has to do their job.
The immediate question is how it was possible for a man supposedly under suicide watch, to take his own lifeparticularly as there had already been one potentially life-threatening event. On July 24, 2019, it was reported that Epstein had been found on the floor of his cell, semi-conscious, despondent and crying with slight bruising around his neck.
At the time, CBS News reported that a source said it was not clear whether his injuries were self-inflicted, but that Epstein was put on suicide watch at the correctional facility as a precautionary measure.

most people dont understand the workings of a jail or prison. Easy to lie and distort or cover top mistakes.
Barr is responsible to the federal bureau of prisons and the FBI he and the doj shouldnt investigate., I would put rudy on this. There are some national consultants who would do an objective job; people who do after action reports on riots, hostage situations, etc.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Saturday wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr that "heads must roll" regarding Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide after his body was found and it was reported that he had been take off suicide watch.
