I hope he suffered a lot...I do not, cannot believe that such an ego-driven narcissist would off himself, either.

I think he had 'help' with his death.

Suicide attempts are extremely common among those awaiting trial, especially on charges like this. New revelations had just come out. The only thing that's likely to be revealed by the investigation was a lax approach by the officers and administration, who should have had him on a tighter watch.

I'm a skeptic. I'm not even sure he's dead yet. not sure it matters either at this point. Suicide or murder = protection of other perpetrators.

I don't buy suicide. Given all of the prominent folks associated with Epstein it is hard to believe there wasn't foul play. Why was he taken off suicide watch. Why did they move his roomate two days before he died?

When I first turned on the news this morning I heard he committed suicide, almost immediately they offered that it was not, that something else was going on. I do not believe it especially since he was connected to Trump.

Hey, doesn't the Vlad kill his opponents?

And sure I trust the doj , right?

Not sure but the timing is startling with the documents being out there yesterday.

He was way too much of a "show off" to kill himself.

Either way, it's no surprise. This was like Jack Ruby and Oswald after the JFK assassination. There was no way he was going to be allowed to rat out all the VIPS that he stood to get a deal for testifying against concerning his sex ring. If he didn't kill himself, he was going to be whacked anyway and he undoubtedly knew that.

Incarceration, regardless of whether it is deemed necessary for the safety of society or not, is a traumatic event. Without his material possessions and his perceived power over his world, he was left alone with himself. Maybe he didn't like himself very much at the time of his death and he didn't know how to cope. Maybe there were people who wished him dead because they were afraid of how we would testify. Ultimately, even if there is a video shown of him hanging himself, I don't know if we can know what other threats beyond incarceration he sought to escape, whether they were internal or external. I don't know what the prison's protocol is for a person to be put on or off suicide watch. Constant searching and direct observation is both an additional loss of privacy and it requires man power. People sometimes say one thing and then do another. He might have said he was no longer suicidal and showed no further outwards signs of suicidal intent and so then he released from that sort of observation. Maybe we will get more truth out of what really happened with investigation, but it isn't easy to say based on what we know.

They take him off suicide watch, why? What had changed that he was no longer suicidal? First reports were all about suicide, then 1 or 2 reports come out that it was heart attack. Really? Heart attack? Not for nothing but I have never seen the symptoms of a hear attack misconstrued as suicide or visa versa.

"See the ligature marks around his neck, bulging eyes...classic cardiac arrest. Where is Sherlock when you need him?

I doubt he even had the decency to be ashamed.

An election year is coming up. So yeah...murder.

He was going to prison for a long time and knew he couldn't last. He certainly had enough money to pay a guard to look the other way

He was going to prison for a long time and knew he couldn't last

While there was certainly motivation for someone to kill him, that by itself, to me, is not sufficient evidence to conclude that he was murdered. I'm going to wait until there's actually verifiable evidence showing that it was murder (I'm not great at keeping up with the story, so that may have already happened without me knowing it).

He knew a lot but unless they burn all the records and evidence they have it doesn’t really matter that he’s dead. I wish he could have had to face his victims but the crumbs he left leads to some big game. Let’s catch that now

Too many questions remain unanswered
