Not sure of how it works in the US but the other day BC RCMP mentioned they were still contemplating proceeding with murder charges against those two kids despite the fact they are dead. In other his case regardless of whether charges are dropped I’m not sure Epstein would ever be considered innocent. I guess technically he is but a more accurate description would be ‘never convicted’.

He had already been charged and convicted before. Where these ongoing charges for things he did after his release from previous charges or just new charges on old stuff?

America going full Russia and cleaning up loose ends. Only a complete f'ing moron would think there was no 'conspiracy'. This was one of the most high-profile prisoners in recent memory with ties to the current sitting US President and other high-profile politicians. A man under 24 hour suicide watch on the verge of giving testimony, likely implicating many household names as child rapists.

This was definitely as well a coordinated a hit as their ever was. I mean, the world's a better place without that POS living in it. But it would have been infinitely better if he could have started pointing fingers at the other pedophiles he's been covering for and start naming names.

A lot of high-profile people around the world are breathing a sigh of relief hearing this news. But hopefully that's not the case for long with the investigation still ongoing.

Suicide LOL.

I must have misunderstood what happened with Hernandez after his suicide. Looks like if you were appealing your conviction and you died, then the conviction was automatically overturned as if the appeal was successful.

Well yeah....

edit: Wait, it looks like people can be charged after their dead? I mean I guess for closure or something, seems weird to me.

I’m gonna go Occam’s razor on this one:

Epstein had strong motivations to commit suicide. I think he committed suicide.

Honestly I can’t see something like this happening. These are big facilities with many many people involved. It would be a huuuuuge cover up. What’s more likely is after first trying to off himself and failing people with power were able to pull strings to get him back into lighter security areas where he has access to things he could finish the job with.

I know in the Canadian system people with severe charges are put into administrative segregation for up to a month and this is without any attempts on their own lives. It’s not that I’d suspect anyone killed him other then himself. It’s likely that the situation was manipulated into allowing him to remove himself from the equation.

That may be the case I am going on the news he was on a suicide protocol, so paper clothing, no blankets etc, in that situation someone has to come in with a pair of undies and arrange the death, just aint happening otherwise.

He wasn’t on suicide watch.

I don’t think that the high profile politicians are out of the woods. Ghislaine Maxwell will likely provide additional names and evidence.

Now, if she ends up committing suicide, well...

Maybe there wasn't so much a "hit" as, "You know what you need to do, and we're going to make it possible for you"...

(My conspiracy theory senses are primed, as we just watched the episode of Homeland in which the general "had a heart attack" in prison" )

Not really. It's been pointed out a couple other places that a suicide watch only tends to last a couple days to a week, tops. His last attempt was 16 days ago (July 25). I can see him not being on suicide watch. I do think that given who he is, he needed to be on some kind of closer supervision. There are definitely some questions to be answered here.

I was thinking while reading this thread, how about clothing? Or maybe he found a way to impale himself

Its called a baby doll here it’s basically a thick and heavy dress of sorts that would be impossible to use to hang yourself. I’ve heard of paper clothes as well but never seen it. And from articles I’ve read it says he hung himself.

I know the states is a different breed but in Canada there is no way no how someone who tried to hang themselves 2 weeks prior would already have access to the kind of resources to make it happen.

I don’t know what the proper protocol is but I wouldn’t have guessed he’d be allowed access to anything like that either. I’m glad the FBI is investigating. If there’s no foul play responsible for his death there’s probably at least some negligence involved.

I would add that when we talk about hanging yourself in a cell there is no where to hang yourself from, it means somehow tieing off on the toilet or edge of your bed and chocking yourself lying on the ground, essentially hanging yourself from a point 2 or 3 foot off the ground
