About four years ago, millionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell after being accused of trafficking minors for sex.

His death sparked controversy as several theories were woven into it that suggested Epstein was murdered at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. Finally, a report from a U.S. Department of Justice inspector general ends the discussion and reveals the true cause of death.

According to The Washington Post, the disclosed report concludes that the financier’s suicide occurred as a result of significant failures and negligence by prison staff, giving him the opportunity to “take his own life.”

Epstein was charged with one count of sexual exploitation of minors and one count of conspiracy to sexually exploit minors between 2002 and 2005. He faced up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

American magnate Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in prison

“The Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Justice has found numerous serious misconduct by MCC New York personnel that constitute misconduct and dereliction of duty. Among other things, these failures resulted in Epstein being left unattended and alone in his cell with an excessive amount of bedding, from about 10:40 p.m. on August 9 until he was discovered hanging in his locked cell at about 6:30 p.m. on August 10. pm,” Detective Inspector Michael E. Horowitz said in a statement.

The report also indicates that they failed to ensure that Epstein has a cellmate after an incident a month earlier for which he was placed on suicide watch and despite the Center’s Department of Psychology determining that he should be placed with a cellmate . .

There has also been no counting and verification of the cells and it is indicated that there was an inspection on August 9, but not the one that Epstein was in. “Had Epstein’s cell been searched as required, the search would have revealed that Epstein had an excess of blankets, sheets and prison clothes in his cell.”

According to forensics, Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide, he was murdered

It was discovered that the staff falsified count sheets and sheets to show that they had been carried out when they had not, for which the prisoner went unobserved for hours. That is why two employees were prosecuted criminally. There was also a problem with the security camera system.

The authority also denies that there was any crime involved in Epstein’s death, so it is not being attributed to a criminal act but suicide.
