1. It might be good to step back and ask what we know and what we don't know. Did Epstein kill himself? We don't know. According to authorities its an apparent suicide but still under investigation. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
2. 2. Do we know if Epstein had previously try to kill himself? No, we don't. Epstein claimed that previous apparent suicide was from attack inside prison. The matter was under investigation & no conclusion had been reached. This article is clarifying. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
3. Was this a failure of suicide watch program? This is complicated: Epstein was taken off suicide watch 12 days ago. If it was suicide then failure was in that decision to take Epstein off watch. Why was it made? nytimes.com/2019/08/10/nyr…
4. Is it likely that Epstein killed himself? Sure. Prison suicide is scandalously common & system is very bad at stopping it. That's the most likely scenario. But it's not something we can be 100% confident in, yet. The death deserves an investigation.
