Epstein Files

[Rev. Rye]

Here is what Wikipedia says about Epstein’s death:
 
“…On August 16, 2019, Barbara Sampson, the New York City medical examiner, ruled Epstein's death a suicide by hanging.[426] The medical examiner, according to Epstein's defense counsel, only saw nine minutes of footage from one security camera to help her arrive at her conclusion…Epstein's lawyers said that the evidence concerning Epstein's death was "far more consistent" with murder than suicide.[427] Michael Baden, an independent pathologist hired by the Epstein estate, observed the autopsy. In October 2019, Baden said that Epstein had experienced a number of injuries—among them a broken bone in his neck—that "are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation." Baden stated that he thinks that the evidence points to homicide rather than suicide.”

- All of this is so American. In fact it reminds me of conspiracy theories about the death of Marilyn Monroe in 1962. According to some of theories the world-famous actress had some evidence of sexual misconduct about some very important personalities of her time. And this is why she ended up being murdered by someone (because there were several inconsistencies about her circumstances of death too).

I hadn’t read much regarding the death of Marilyn Monroe, but Epstein committing suicide makes a lot more sense than him being murdered given what was (and continues to be) reported.

Many reasons:

No evidence of defensive wounds.
Materials required for suicide were present at the time.
Expert analyses concluding suicidal hanging rather than strangulation.
Cameras that were on that night didn’t show anyone suspicious who could’ve entered the cell to murder him.
Epstein actually attempted suicide some month or so ago before his actual death. So it was not beyond him to want to off himself.
Caneras that weren’t on at the time were due to some system failure that occurred several days before Epstein’s death, they didn’t just suddenly malfunction that night.
Evidence of security failures due to neglect that had been occurring even before that night.
And many other reasons.

Conspiracy theorists always like to ignore the various points disfavouring their beliefs and overstate the less compelling points favouring their beliefs.

I could go either way on whether Epstein killed himself, but, if he didn't, this wouldn't be the first time that someone took an obvious homicide and decided it was a suicide.
