How long would that take?
5 minutes?
Unless watched every minute I guess it was possible.
Now CNN says:
He was taken from New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center Saturday morning in cardiac arrest and died at an area hospital, the sources told CNN.

(7,430 posts)Epstein, IF HE REALLY COMMITTED SUICIDE, won't get his just desserts in whatever afterlife there is, if any. He opted out. He never accounted for his behavior. All of his victims won't get any kind of closure. What a disgusting turn of events. Heads should roll because he was allowed to off himself. As far as all of us know, there is no justice here and there won't ever be. Justice includes the interaction between Epstein, the Courts, the victims, and society at large. Epstein's apparent last act was to give a giant fuck you to those whose lives he shattered and ruined. What a coward. Trumpy's friend.

(7,430 posts)Suicide watch means that ANY item that can be used to harm him would have been removed. Including bedsheets. And just how could he have tied anything to any object from which to hang? Where were the precautions?

(43,049 posts)now that he's dead, many branches of the investigations will dry up. We may never know who all was involved, or how.
So, what's a prison guard go for these days?

Who would you trust to perform an independent autopsy and DNA confirmation?

(53 posts)The people already revealed and many others that were going to be exposed had plenty of power to have Epstien terminated. The fact he was taken off of suicide watch is a damning clue. And yesterday many more incriminating documents were released. There are others who were involved with him for years that can be charged. And there can be civil suits as well.
