At the very least, it lends credence to the possibility that he was allowed to commit suicide.
Idiocy, lack of resources, a person in authority who doesn't understand nor doesn't care about mental issues, lack of trained staff (not the same as idiocy), and so on. There are many valid answers where the authorities would be culpable for the death of Epstein without them actually meaning to kill him.
Given the reports that Epstein had ligature marks from a previous attempt, my guess is somebody didn't do their search right putting him back into his cell and he smuggled in something he could hang himself with. And given he was put off suicide watch there was nobody watching him just in case (and even if he were on suicide watch, that's no guarantee, there's plenty of examples of suicide watches being so incompetently run in prisons and secure mental facilities worldwide that suicidal people commit suicide).
I understand that there are a range of possibilities that could have resulted in Epstein's death, and that not all of them involve pre-meditated, criminal action.
Given the extremely destructive nature of the alleged evidence he was sitting on as an informant, it's my opinion that the possibility of involvement on behalf of some of the powerful, well-connected people that he implicated should also be investigated as a matter of due diligence though.
Personally, I find it difficult to believe that the decision to remove such a remarkably high-profile individual awaiting trial on such a remarkably high-profile case from suicide watch is one that would've been the result of mere oversight, carelessness, or bungling. Seems like a pretty colossal error; One that would've ultimately had to have received approval from one or more high-ranking prison officials.
The motives behind that decision--specifically of those who called the shots, need to be questioned and scrutinized with the utmost intensity.
