Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself appeared to be hung with a prison bedsheet.

Appeared to be hung?

Wait, I thought he was all egg-shaped...

the only thing I could find on that was reported by the NYPost from an ex-convict...

https://nypost.com/2019/08/10/former-mcc-inmate-theres-no-way-jeffrey-epstein-killed-himself/

He also says “The clothing they give you is a jump-in uniform. Everything is a dark brown color.”

we know from the gurney photos that he was wearing orange pants and shirt.

He wasn’t on suicide watch because 1) it is limited to 2-10 days and day 10 was over with at least a week prior. 2) his lawyers reported they’d requested he be taken off.

Prisoners commit suicide regularly. We had one do the very same thing here just recently.

So that’s it...just a routine suicide. Nothing new here, nothing to get angry about, all by the book. Win some lose some.

Maybe in your little world...I’m still pissed as hell about it.

Why, thank you. Do I get a crown and parade float?

Do your own research on time limits of suicide watch and if his lawyers requested he be taken off.

“Has his body been accidentally cremated yet?”

Let me guess: If no one of standing officially files a claim with the county within 48 hours, then it gets cremated. You know, by the book. He’s dead, of what interest could it possibly be to anyone as to how he died? After all, we all know it was a ROUTINE SUICIDE - you know, look the other way...nothing to see here. ROUTINE, I tell you.

My own little world is about explaining how long one can be on suicide watch.

It could be suicide. It could be a hit. It could be he’s sipping umbrella drinks on a tropical island with no extradition. No one knows but him and he’s not talking much these days.

So, no, I did not say that and you know I didn’t.

Then you admit that one could hang themselves in the same manner that Robin Williams did.

Good, then we are on the same page.........

I have no idea how Robin Williams hanged himself.

Further, I related what a former inmate has said about the cells, and I said so, which means you knew that I didn't "say" anything. Much less make a comment about bars.

Epstein’s New York lockup rare place for inmate suicides, suicide attempts

Published reports tally only one suicide and three attempted suicides in the past 40 years at the Manhattan Correctional Center, which came under fire after Epstein’s death early Saturday.

Maybe Epstein tied on that paper bed sheet as a cape. Then he tried to fly like Superman off the top bunk. He died from a cracked head:

“To sum up Epsteins last days, is this correct...
1. His claim someone tried to kill him was dismissed
2. He got off suicide watch
3. Got real sheets
4. Got rid of his roommate
5. Had the cameras disabled
6. Had the guards not follow protocols?”

That’s what we’re being told to believe here, on this thread. I remember watching a show on Pablo Escabar showing his ‘prison’, which more looked like a luxury villa, complete with TVs, gourmet food, servants, and girls.

I thought, wow, a Third World jail for the rich and famous. Talk about getting one’s way...glad it doesn’t happen here.

But now we’re told it can happen here and prisoners, or at least their lawyers have the power to control the guards, the type of cell, the monitoring, etc.

Yea, right.

Why? What meaning would that have? I made no argument about that anyway. None.

Well then that proves it. Only one federal prisoner ever 10 years EVER thinks of killing himself in that jail...and Epstein thought of it twice.

LOL - suicide my ass.

How high could a bunk bed be? Epstein was 6 foot. How could he have been found hanging and has been mentioned these are not 800 thread sheets in MCC.

Right, but your body instinctually reacts to the hold and fights it if you’re not trained to respond to it, which is why most people instinctively want to tap out even before the hold’s effect actually sets in. Also, Epstein would have to be knowledgeable and precise to make sure he put himself into a sleeper and not an outright choke—and the autopsy should show which it was. I’d be interested to see what the autopsy indicates on this, along with a crime scene re-enactment of an average person’s reaction using the same material found around Epstein’s neck.

Well, it’s not like he was the most high profile prisoner in the world at the time in the most high profile Federal case at the time. Who would expect any extra care be taken to keep him secure and alive? /s

10 day’s suicide watch like all the rest. Punt!
