Jeffrey Epstein News: 12 Outraged Americans React to His Passing

Readers weigh in on reports about disgraced multimillionaire, 66, who was found deceased in his jail cell on Saturday morning

These are not people in the media saying this.

These are not conspiracy theorists saying this.

These are real people — everyday Americans, interested readers, people of all walks of life, Trump followers, Clinton followers and so many others — who are sharing their thoughts, their opinions, and their theories about what might have happened to Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead early Saturday morning inside his Manhattan jail cell even after he’d been put on a suicide watch.

(ICYMI: The 66-year-old Epstein died at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City early on Saturday just weeks after he was arrested on multiple child sex-trafficking charges, as Fox News reported today and as sources confirmed to the outlet. The initial call to the jail was cardiac arrest — but ABC News, which was the first to report the passing, said Epstein died by suicide. Epstein’s attorney Martin Weinberg told Fox News on Saturday that he could not “confirm the rumor” that his client had killed himself.)

As the story continues to circulate and other details and reactions emerge, here is what readers online and elsewhere are saying in their own words about the Epstein case.

Check these out — then see the thoughts of some prominent people below this list.

And please weigh in as well.

1.) “There is not one chance in hell that this was a suicide. I knew from the very beginning that those rich men in power who committed these atrocities would ‘never’ see justice. If he had testified, half of D.C. and half of Hollywood would have self-imploded. I guess the rich and powerful ‘can’ get away with anything.”

2.) “Mighty convenient for some.”

3.) “I worked as a medic in a jail. It’s almost impossible to commit suicide when you’re on suicide watch. Everyone knew this was coming.”

4.) “We need the video and the most meticulous autopsy ever performed.”

5.) “The investigation will not end! It’s just the beginning!”

6.) “The fact that he was allowed to die by any means is more evidence of a corrupt system. He should have been under the best care so he could be brought to justice.”

7.) “NO. BIG. SURPRISE.”

8.) “So the news is reporting that ‘a man that looked like Epstein’ was taken out on a stretcher and so on. Has no one picked up on this statement? So did they take the real Epstein out the back door and put a phony on the stretcher so he gets to live in a foreign country as a billionaire sex trafficker for the rest of his life? This is worthy of looking into.”

9.) “What was the under-over on how long he would last? Don’t be surprised if the guards on duty last night start disappearing or their cars just suddenly explode.”

10.) “The camera on the cell just happened to go off and [stayed] off for a period [of time]. No one can understand how that happened. LOL.”

11.) “So much for [a] so-called SUICIDE WATCH! Who was watching? The Three Stooges? Someone needs to be fired for dereliction of duty!”

12.) “All you can do is shake your head. This is preposterous. We have a completely corrupted system. There is no excuse for this. NONE.”
