The New York Times broke the news at 1:22 PDT that Jeffrey Epstein did in fact die of suicide, quashing conspiracy theories that he was murdered.
The official results of an autopsy showed that the financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell, the city’s medical examiner’s office said on Friday, determining that the cause of death was suicide by hanging.
The determination came six days after Mr. Epstein, 66, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
Guards on their morning rounds found Mr. Epstein at about 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, prison officials said. He appeared to have tied a bedsheet to the top of a set of bunk beds, then knelt toward the floor with enough force that he broke several bones in his neck, officials said.
I was thinking part of the reason he did this was to hurt his victims, who dared to fight back. I hope they get justice and peaco of mind. Or his money, they deserve whatever restitution they can get.
*peace*
‘ quashing conspiracy theories’
Oh, if it was only as easy as that.
They’re barely just getting started, the incompetence of Dimwit Donny’s maladministration, and, of course, his direct input, strengthening them.
Sorry, it’s going to take more than this to convince me.
Like what exactly? This is as close to a definitive answer as we’re going to get, barring any curveballs from toxicology or the cams (which I fully expect will be a grand total of nothing). I’ve often found the real world to be far less sexy, far more random and way more absurd than any CT could hope to be.
I’m not saying that CTs have to make any sense, just that this is fertile ground for them.
No surprises here…the man had very few reasons to live, considering how exposed he and his organization was.
There was his first suicide attempt. That was a clue that he was not happy in jail. No surprise he tried again, and succeeded.
