05:22 11.08.2019
The apparent suicide of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein immediately spawned allegations of prison negligence and multiple conspiracy theories, as the details of the case remain blurry.
The Bureau of Prisons said on Saturday that lifesaving measures were “initiated immediately by responding staff,” and Epstein was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Bureau called his death an “apparent suicide,” although an investigation has yet to determine this conclusively. A number of officials told media outlets that Epstein had hanged himself in his cell, however, there was no public confirmation.
