Epstein killed himself. (same for Gary Webb)

Too many people think suicide is rare, or extreme act. But it's common as dirt especially for people who's life is ruined. It's a joke in movies that "new fish" looking at long sentences kill themselves, but somehow when it happens to someone notable, it's mysterious and suspicious.

Also, the idea that there was a conspiracy to murder Epstein in prison and cover it up by powerful people is an extraordinary claim with the flimsiest possible evidence.

It's just soooo weird there's no footage of the time he died. But I do agree a cover up for this case would be a difficult thing. But let's not forget they spent millions of dollars redacting the epstein files so anything is possible.
