FBI Investigates as Epstein Suicide Raises Questions, Conspiracy Theories
As anger spreads, probes open to how billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had the chance to kill himself. The FBI said it was probing the death of alleged billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein while in custody early Saturday. His apparent suicide raised immediate calls for an investigation and spawned a multitude of conspiracy theories.
For many, the death — apparently by his own hand while supposedly under a 24-hour suicide watch after a similar attempt in recent weeks — appeared too suspicious and too convenient for the many rich and powerful who could have been implicated had his trial gone ahead.
Officials later said he had been taken off suicide watch a day before he killed himself.
