And in between rounds at Club Muy Blanco in New Jersey, President No. 2 For Brains managed to retweet conspiracy theories accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of murder.

Now, you'll get no sympathy from this particular quarter for the odious Jeffrey Epstein who, after all, was a registered sex offender that preyed on adolescent girls, and was likely the master of his own ultimate fate here.

But I certainly agree with you that the people in charge have an awful lot of questions to answer as to why MCCNY's most high-profile prisoner -- who was alleged to have already attempted suicide three weeks ago -- was apparently not on suicide watch, and how he managed to hang himself in one of the country's most secure and thoroughly surveilled facilities without anyone noticing.

At the very least, this is a huge black eye for the U.S. Dept. of Justice.

Inmates can only be removed from the watch when the program coordinator, who is generally the chief psychologist at the facility, deems they are no longer at imminent risk for suicide, according a 2007 Bureau of Prison document outlining suicide prevention policies. The inmates cannot be removed from the watch without a face-to-face psychological evaluation.

Even if that's true it seems to me this case should have been an exception.

I'm surprised so little information has been released about exactly how he managed to kill himself, if he did kill himself.  The one thing we know is that the only hope he had of not going away forever was to give up some really important people.

Curious that additional information was not immediately available, knowing the public glare on the case---not only the sex trafficking, the unknown sources of his vast wealth, but also, the prominent persons alleged to be involved.

The New York medical examiner conducted on the death of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the information providing, the examiner needs "further information" before being able to determine the ultimate result.

"Today, a medical examiner performed the autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein. The ME's determination is pending further information at this time," Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson said in a statement released to the press.

The Epstein estate has hired celebrity pathologist Michael Baden to do their own autopsy.

Six days after his suicide attempt, he was taken off 24-hour suicide watch, determined to no longer be a threat to his own life. His depression apparently cleared up, sort of like a case of the flu...a few bad days and you are OK again.

Prison protocols went by the board. Epstein's cell mate was transferred; the guards did not check; monitoring, apparently, is usually discontinued after just a few days in those cases where inmates get bad news (e.g. unfavorable court decisions, death of loved ones), but not so quickly after a suicide attempt. Some reports say there were no surveillance cameras in his cell.

The NYC Chief Medical Examiner concluded the autopsy but declined to release a determination about the cause of death.  However, she was "confident" the cause of death is suicide by hanging, but wants more information from law enforcement before releasing her determination. Apparently, wanting to be super confident. Will her report indicate by what means Epstein hanged himself?

Though it is standard practice to house people who have recently been taken off suicide watch with another person, Epstein's cell mate was transferred out, not replaced,  leaving Epstein alone.

The two guards in Epstein's housing unit falsely recorded that they had checked in on him every half-hour as required. And, both guards, simultaneously, were sleeping and did not look in on Epstein for three hours before he was found.

One of the two guards was not a regular correctional officer, but a prison employee pressed into service.

Prison union leaders said it was egregious  that they transferred the warden but put the guards on leave. The warden made the call to take Epstein off suicide watch. Bedsheets are no provided while on suicide watch.

Among the bones broken in Epstein's neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam's apple. Such breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject. But they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation, the experts said.

Epstein, 66, was found unconscious around 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 10 with a bedsheet around his neck

Ok.  It was "around his neck".  Was he hanging from it?  Did he just strangle himself with it?  I admit I have not been breathlessly filling the details of this.
