People close to Epstein fear he was murdered...as Epstein told authorities someone tried to kill him in a previous incident weeks earlier. He was described as being in good spirits in recent days...

Naivete is not a good look.

There should be and almost certainly is video of Epsteins suicide at MCC. One hopes it is complete, conclusive, and secured.

(21,573 posts)at best his suicide was enabled.
but the idea that this guy was on "suicide watch" and was taken off only two weeks later just in time for him to kill himself is absurd.
people who know that much don't just up and kill themselves and no one "could have possibly seen it coming".
I am wondering who made the call to take him off suicide watch.......

(13,871 posts)A pervert child molester who is going to spend the rest of his life in prison committing suicide...........is an idea that is just too far-fetched to be believable?
Not saying that is what happened, but it certainly what is most likely to have happened, unless you are really hunting for the next great conspiracy theory. Maybe it was the same guys who faked the moon landing and created the AIDS virus in a lab.

(21,573 posts)I said I don't believe no one could have "seen it coming" that Epstein would commit suicide, and that I want to know who took him off the watch and why.

(3,564 posts)There are questions that should be asked - such as:
1. Single person cell, double person cell, four man cell, or dormitory environment?
2. Prisons are a 24 hour active environment - they truly never shut down, someone is always watching.
3. A person that had been on suicide watch - even removed - is still monitored more closely.
4. He would have been considered a high profile inmate - again watched closely.
5. Unless he was on a high tier, hanging in a cell block is hard - and not quick. One would say that its more likely he strangled than broke his neck with a hanging. I suspect that strangling take a little time (that is why question #1 is important).
My quick thoughts... and reference #5, I know that a person can strangle themselves in a single cell with sheet, cross legs on the floor....have to be pretty determined.
