If Jeffrey had multiple bones broken in his neck, this indicates

a conspiracy. Someone had to open the cell or provide a key so his cell could be entered to off him.

What caused all the guards to sleep at the same time?

The original story stinks like a bunch of rotten eggs.

12. Perhaps his body flung violently about before he died.

Hardly unlikely. I've never understood why anyone, given a choice of methods, would hang himself. Done right, it breaks the neck (and spine) immediately, but if not it's dreadful torture, with only eventual release through death.

10. Perhaps. But an egomaniacal lout like Epstein might be less inclined to die by his own hand

...or anyone else's. As the OP says, it's stinky as hell!

7. Yes because a guy in lockup wants a murder charge added to his rap.

Occam's Razor: he got his ass beat last time and he was violently strangled this time and it finally did the trick.

13. I just realized that murdering Epstein is a realistic supposition. I've read of pedophiles

getting killed in jail a lot. Remember the other inmates probably hated him with a white hatred for what he did to young girls.

15. Someone still had to obtain a key to get into a cell. Or someone didn't

lock the cell in the first place which is hardly likely.
And if they did someone still had to unlock a cell to let someone out to kill him.

OHHHHH what a tangled web someone tried to weave.

The way he purportedly hung himself - not from ceiling but from a chair leaning forward...so he could easily get out of it...doesnt the survival mechanism kick in? I never understood this one from Robin Williams suicide either.

It doesnt sound like you can break your neck from this kind of suicide.

Epstein’s cellmate: what happened to him? I heard that epstein’s lawyer retained a lawyer. He is also the ex-cop’s lawyer. The ex-cop who has murdered four people. I’m wondering if the ex cop did the deed. I’d also like to know WHO Barr met with when he went to the prison.

that no one checked on Jeffrey for three hours, so they should also show if anyone went to his cell for other reasons. The story doesn't make sense.
