Minutes after the death of convicted pedophile and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was reported conspiracy theories started to make their way onto the Internet.
It is not a surprise that many have questions as a man on suicide watch should not able to kill himself in a high security prison.
But conspiracies are what they are and there is no evidence at this time to suggest anything other than a suicide is what happened, as Reuters reported.
Jeffrey Epstein, the U.S. financier facing federal sex trafficking charges, committed suicide on Friday night in his lower Manhattan jail cell, several U.S. media outlets reported on Saturday.
Epstein, who was arrested on July 6, had pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls as young as 14, from at least 2002 to 2005.
The charges were announced more than a decade after Epstein pleaded guilty to state prostitution charges in Florida.
He was confined in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while he appealed a district judge’s refusal to let him live under 24-hour guard in his home on the Upper East Side.
