Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself with prison bedsheet: source
By Larry Celona and Bruce Golding August 12, 2019 | 5:07pm
Jeffrey Epstein was found hanging in his Lower Manhattan jail cell with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck and secured to the top of a bunk bed, The Post has learned.
The convicted pedophile, who was 6 feet tall, apparently killed himself by kneeling toward the floor and strangling himself with the makeshift noose, a law enforcement source said Monday.
Epstein was “unresponsive” when he was discovered in his cell in the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, the federal Bureau of Prisons has said.
Staffers attempted to revive him and he was taken to an infirmary inside the lockup, then transported by ambulance to the NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The FBI and the Justice Department are both investigating the incident, which US Attorney General William Barr on Monday blamed on “serious irregularities at this facility.”
Barr also vowed that authorities would to “get to the bottom of what happened,” saying the case against Epstein was “very important to the Department of Justice and to me personally.”
“Most importantly, this case was important to the victims who had the courage to come forward and deserved the opportunity to confront the accused in the courtroom,” Barr said.
NYU Medical Professor: Epstein Death ‘More Likely’ A ‘Homicide Than A Suicide’

Dr. Marc Siegel told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" on Thursday that the recent revelation that convicted sex offender and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had certain broken bones in his neck make it more likely that his death was a homicide and not a suicide, based on statistics.
The Fox News segment came in response to The Washington Post reporting late on Wednesday night that Epstein's autopsy found that he sustained multiple breaks in his neck bones, which "deepen[ed] the mystery about the circumstances around his death."
"Among the bones broken in Epstein's neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam's apple," The Post added. "Such breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject. But they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation, the experts said."
"The hyoid bone in the neck being fractured and other fractures in the neck, make it more likely, and again, this is a percentage call, more likely that it was a homicide than a suicide," Siegel, a Professor of Medicine at New York University School of Medicine, told Fox News.
"It can either be a suicide or a homicide still ... I am now more suspicious than ever that this could be a homicide," Siegel continued. "That answer is going to come to us because if someone attacked, you see signs of the attack on the body ... It hasn't been released yet. I'm waiting to see that."
"If someone holds you down and strangles you, you see evidence on the body — bruises," Siegel added. "The other question that has come up ... is about the suicide watch situation which is shocking to me as a physician who has dealt with severely depressed and suicidal patients."
"Six days on a suicide watch, prison officials reportedly removed it. Prison officials, guided by who? What self-respecting psychiatrist would say, 'okay, he's no longer suicidal,'" Siegel concluded. "There was evidence on July 23rd that he may have done something to his neck, or someone did ... suddenly six days later he waves his hand, says he's fine, and he's put in an area where ultimately he's unobserved — because as you know, people fall asleep and they falsify records reportedly."

cientology Must Have Its Tax-Exempt Status
Revoked
The New York Post reported on Monday that Epstein was found in his jail cell with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck, apparently killing "himself by kneeling toward the floor and strangling himself."
On Tuesday, news broke that the two prison guards who were supposed to be monitoring Epstein supposedly fell asleep for three hours, did not check on him, and then allegedly falsified prison records to cover up their actions.
Hours prior to his alleged suicide, Epstein's cellmate, who Epstein claimed tried to kill him in late July, was reportedly transferred out of the cell, leaving Epstein alone.
"The convicted pedophile also told his lawyers that the neck injuries he suffered in an earlier incident at the Metropolitan Correctional Center were inflicted by his hulking, ex-cop cellmate, which led the lawyers to request that he be taken off a suicide watch, according to a source familiar with Epstein's case," The New York Post added.
Up to 30 Accusers to Speak at Hearing in Jeffrey Epstein Case as Prosecutors Ask Judge to Scrap Charges
BY TOM HAYS AND LARRY NEUMEISTER / AP 9:22 AM EDT
(NEW YORK) — Up to 30 women were expected to take a judge up on his invitation to speak at a hearing after financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself before facing sex trafficking charges.
The hearing Tuesday morning was scheduled last week by U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, who presided over the case prosecutors brought against Epstein after the 66-year-old convicted felon was arrested July 6 after he arrived at a New Jersey airport from Paris.
A New York City coroner has formally classified the death a suicide. He died Aug. 10.
The judge set the hearing after prosecutors asked that he scrap charges against Epstein since the defendant is dead. Berman said he would give prosecutors, Epstein lawyers and any victims a chance to speak.
Since the hearing was scheduled, it was revealed that Epstein signed a will just two days before his suicide putting over $577 million in assets into a trust fund. The will, filed in the Virgin Islands where Epstein maintained a residence, was expected to make it more difficult for dozens of accusers to collect damages.
Epstein had pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges and was held without bail, accused of sexually abusing women in the early 2000s at mansions in Manhattan and Florida.
Since his death, an angry Attorney General William Barr has vowed that anyone who aided Epstein in sex trafficking will be pursued in a continuing investigation.
He also removed the acting director of the Bureau of Prisons from his position, placed two guards who were supposed to be watching Epstein the morning he died on administrative leave and temporarily reassigned the warden to the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Barr has said officials had uncovered “serious irregularities” and was angry that staff members at the federal lockup had failed to “adequately secure this prisoner.”
At the time of his death, Epstein was preparing though his lawyers to argue in court papers due in September that he could not be prosecuted because he signed a no-prosecution deal with prosecutors a dozen years ago in Florida. Prosecutors in New York said that deal did not prevent the new charges. Epstein signed it before he pleaded guilty to Florida state charges in 2008, admitting sexual relations with teenage girls under the age of consent.
The suicide happened despite a warning in late July when Epstein was found on the floor of his cell with bruises to his neck. After Epstein died, Berman asked the jail’s warden for answers about that episode, saying it had never been “definitively explained.”
Epstein spent a few days under suicide watch but then was transferred back to a cell in a Special Housing Unit where he had a cellmate. Eventually, though, the cellmate was taken out and he was left alone.
Ghislaine Maxwell: Jeffrey Epstein girlfriend sexually abused two sisters, accusers claim
The report comes as Epstein’s accusers met in court following his death

Two sisters who say they were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell spent years trying to share their stories with law enforcement and publications to no avail, a new report claims.
Maria Farmer, an artist, told The New York Times that she first met Epstein and his alleged accomplice in 1996. Ms Farmer says she introduced Epstein and Ms Maxwell to her then-16-year-old sister, Annie, who at the time needed help paying for college.
According to the Times, Epstein and Ms Maxwell invited Annie to stay at Epstein’s New Mexico ranch. There, she says Epstein touched her inappropriately, and that Ms Maxwell also abused her, insisting on giving her a massage and then fondling her breasts. She believes Epstein was watching at the time.
Later, in Ohio, Maria, in her early twenties at the time, says she was instructed to give a foot massage to Epstein. He then invited her to sit on his bed, where Ms Maxwell allegedly joined them. Ms Farmer told the Times that the duo then began groping her and “rubbing her body, commenting on her features, and twisting her nipples to the point of bruising.” Ms Farmer eventually left the room, fearing she would be raped by Epstein.
Still-sealed records linked to Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scheme include over 1,000 names

Still-sealed records linked to Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scheme include over 1,000 names

Still-secret documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme include over 1,000 names, an attorney said Wednesday as legal teams battle over how to go about unsealing the records.
The materials also include video depositions of 29 people. The yet-to-be-unsealed records are part of a defamation suit brought by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against the perv’s alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell. The case was settled in May 2017 on the eve of trial.
“In these 29 depositions there are dozens if not hundreds of names of other people,” said Jeffrey Pagliuca, an attorney for Maxwell. “There are hundreds of pages of investigative reports that mention hundreds of people.”
He added an “address book” has 1,000 names.
The 45-minute hearing in Manhattan Federal Court was the result of a ruling by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals that much of the record in the case should be unsealed. The Appeals Court unsealed one batch of documents in August, but left it to Judge Loretta Preska to determine how to unseal additional records.
Attorneys for Giuffre and Maxwell will argue over what should and shouldn’t be public. Attorneys for Epstein’s former attorney Alan Dershowitz, the Miami Herald and an anonymous figure named in the trove of information are also involved.
Epstein hanged himself in Metropolitan Correctional Center last month while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. Prosecutors have said they are continuing to investigate his co-conspirators. Epstein’s victims have said Maxwell played an instrumental role in his international sex trafficking operation. She has not been charged.
