FOX News Legal Analyst: If You Are on Suicide Watch — It’s Hard to Commit Suicide Unless Prison Violated Its Own Protocol (VIDEO)
Date: August 10, 2019
Jeffrey Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center around 6:30 a.m., the Bureau of Prisons said. He transported in cardiac arrest to New York Downtown Hospital at 6:39 a.m., according to sources.
He had been placed on suicide watch after he was found last month in
his cell “in medical distress” with “apparent bruising on his neck.”
FOX News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett went on FOX and Friends to discuss the alleged suicide.
Gregg Jarrett: Given evidence of an attack most recently against him they’re going to want to conduct an investigation that this was indeed self-inflicted, that this was suicide. But the fact that he was in a solitary cell most recently and on suicide watch I agree with Deroy that it is baffling how somebody on suicide watch who is routinely checked every hour and usually there are cameras, could manage to accomplish a suicide. And not only that, when you’re on suicide watch in a jail cell, under normal protocol they remove absolutely everything in the cell that could be used for hanging. It’s always problematic about bedsheets that they use weaker sheets that wouldn’t sustain the weight of an individual. So I’m not quite sure how he managed to accomplish this unless they violated their own protocol.

There was a big development in the scandal Friday when legal docs became public, naming other prominent, private and public, individuals, including a senator and former cabinet member who were allegedly involved in Epstein’s sexual exploits. Those people have denied involvement. But still, his death comes just a day after those scandals.
