Billionaire paedo Jeffrey Epstein ‘hanged himself after his lawyers ordered him to be taken off suicide watch’
JEFFREY Epstein hanged himself with a bed sheet in his cell after his lawyers ordered he be taken off suicide watch, it has been reported.
He added that the investigation involving the disgraced financier would continue despite his death on Saturday morning. The unnamed source said this meant guards were supposed to check on Epstein every 30 minutes and should have also had a cellmate with him. Epstein had been placed on suicide watch after he was found in his cell a little over two weeks ago with bruises on his neck, a person familiar with the jail's operations told news agency the Associated Press.
The person added that one guard was working a fifth straight day of overtime and another was working mandatory overtime. He told writer James B. Stewart that A-listers confided in him about their sexual interests and drug use because of his notoriety. He was led upstairs to meet Epstein who showed him countless photographs of him with other rich and powerful people including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.Other photos included the convicted paedophile with other controversial public figures including filmmaker Woody Allen and ex-US President Bill Clinton – both of whom have been accused of sexual misconduct.
The chairman and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, Democrat Jerrold Nadler, sent a scathing letter on Monday to the acting director of federal prisons stating that the "competency and rigor of our criminal justice system has been marred."An autopsy was performed on Sunday, but New York City Chief Medical Examiner Dr Barbara Sampson said that investigators were awaiting further information.
In the pictures, the disgraced billionaire is seen wearing an orange jump suit and what appears to be a brace around his neck. Stating he believes that the disgraced financier couldn't have carried out a suicide by himself in the jail, Kasman suggested: "If he killed himself, someone had to have helped him.“Someone had to give the equipment to kill himself and he had to pay for it dearly.”
