I think Epstein very likely killed himself.

[RandySF]

I remember what it was like at the peak of my anxiety attacks walking around the sixth floor of an office building looking for a window that would open. Fortunately for me, Iwas able to find treatment and change the life circumstances that lead to my condition. But I can see how Epstein, a man of privilege facing real time for child trafficking and (potentially) child pornography charges could have seen no way out, especially with Trump and Dershowitz throwing him under the bus. So for now, I am going to operate of the assumption that he really killed himself.

1. The question is why didn't the authorities do more

or at least something to prevent it. Lifting the suicide watch a few days ago is unfathomable.

[brush]

6. Correct. It was facilitated.

[Aristus]

2. Unless evidence to the contrary turns up, I will, too.

It's amazing how many people can embrace the idea that JFK was killed by space aliens working for Cuba and the Mob.

Every parent on the planet had a compelling motive for killing Epstein. So did every one of his partners in crime. But pedophiles and child pornographers are bunch of sniveling cowards. Taking the easy way out is not at all farfetched.

19. Yes. What you said.

Glad to see we have some reality based folks here.

[Dennis Donovan]

3. I think that is the case as well

But ii begs the question; why was he allowed to commit suicide?

[brush]

4. There was no way for it to happen without it being facilitated. Come on!

[zackymilly]

5. With Epstein dead, that's one less person Trump will pardon. n/t

[mucifer]

7. I honestly think I would do it if I knew there was no possibility I would ever get out of prison

US prisons are horrific.

[Drunken Irishman]

16. Especially for pedophiles.

[dameatball]

8. I think he killed himself. My question is more about what protocols were followed to prevent it.

[Meadowoak]

9. Epstein is probably alive and well in Saudi Arabia.

[pnwmom]

10. Yes, but they LET HIM. They had full control of him and knew that he was

a suicide risk.

[harumph]

11. If he did indeed kill himself - it was facilitated.

After the prior attempt reported 7-25 - there can be no reasonable explanation for him
not remaining on suicide watch. Gosh, it's as if someone wanted him to do it.

[PandoraAwakened]

13. Didn't Epstein himself claim he was attacked?

Curious as to how quickly the "suicide" story started after he was found unconscious with finger marks around his neck in July? As quickly as today's "suicide" story?

P.S. He was taken off suicide watch because he repeatedly told them that he was attacked.

Things that make you go hmmmm.

[flotsam]

12. Consider the set up he arranged when last he was jailed.

No way he gets that level of freedom but the kind of money he controlled could have bought protection (Ayran Brotherhood:"Hey Jew Boy!". Epstein:"How would your organization like operating funds for as long as I live?".) and every other perk available inside. I might kill myself but not until I knew what my sentence was and what that lifestyle did and didn't include...

[frogmarch]

14. I too think he killed himself. nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. I don't think he was anxious at all. I think he knew his run was up, and did what he probably had

planned for years to do.

[cwydro]

18. This.

Spot on.

He certainly would have planned the final exit, even if he thought or hoped it wouldn’t be necessary.
