Jeffrey Epstein has committed suicide

[thisenglishlife]

Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself inside his New York City jail cell on Saturday morning
He was discovered by prison guards shortly before 7am and was rushed to a nearby hospital
The 66-year-old was pronounced dead a short time later, and the FBI has now launched an investigation into his death
Epstein was being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center without bail following his arrest on charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking last month
His death comes after court documents detailing his sexual abuse of underage girls were unsealed by the courts
The documents include claims from Epstein's alleged 'sex slave' that she was forced to have sex with a number of powerful men

I posted similar earlier. Sounds well dodgy

What is your AIBU?

There was no way this would ever go to trial. I said that a few weeks ago. On the non conspiracy side he knew he wouldn't get away with it, on the conspiracy side, he was connected to a lot of people who may have been worried about him trying to strike a deal.

I do think it is weird that he wasn't on suicide watch though as I read several times this week that he was considered high risk

How incredibly convenient for all his friends in high places.
