Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died overnight in an apparent suicide, law enforcement sources told the Post Saturday.
A gurney carrying a man who looked like Epstein was wheeled out of the Manhattan Correctional Center around 7:30 a.m. and headed to New York Downtown Hospital. A call for a reported cardiac arrest came in at 6:38 a.m., Fire Department sources said.
Two weeks ago, Epstein, 66, was placed on suicide watch after he was found nearly unconscious in his cell with injuries to his neck.
The multimillionaire financier was being held without bail pending trial on child sex-trafficking charges.
Epstein was busted July 6 over the alleged sexual abuse of dozens of young girls in his Upper East Side townhouse and his waterfront mansion in Palm, Beach, Florida, between 2002 and 2005. He pleaded not guilty and faced up to 45 years in prison.
Thousands of documents unsealed Friday in connection with a defamation case against the perv’s alleged recruiter revealed dozens of high-profile names that a self-identified victim, Virginia Giuffre, said she was forced to perform sex acts with, from former Maine Sen. George Mitchell and ex-New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, money manager Glenn Dubin and MIT professor Marvin Minksy.

How is cardiac arrest suicide??
UnknownCitizen ago
Cardiac Arrest is the cessation of the functioning of the heart. The cause can be anything, including loss of blood flow to the brain, via hanging in this case, which controls the heart.

True, I highly doubt he committed suicide. There was no capability to kill himself in that cell. Unless he beat himself into the wall until death, which is unlikely, or choked himself out which is unlikely 🤷🏼♀️

No, probably not. It’s nevertheless good to know one’s ignorance, because at least you know you don’t know. Best we can do is be politically active we’re we can have positive and lasting effect. I usually recommend town halls and neighborhood council meetings.
