Graphic content warning: This story contains information about suicide and other graphic themes
When Mark Epstein heard the news his brother Jeffrey had died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell, he thought that made sense. Jeffrey wouldn’t want to spend his life locked up. He had no reason to doubt it.
“I fully expected them to come out of the autopsy saying, ‘It’s unfortunate, but Jeffrey committed suicide.’ But that’s not what happened,” he told the ABC.
The independent pathologist who Mark hired to attend the autopsy believed the death looked more like a homicide. The New York deputy assistant medical examiner conducting the autopsy said she required further information before making a ruling.


Real talk though, do we even need Epstein?
What can he tell us that Ghislaine can’t?
All of finances, the extent and details of rapes, probably murders, and I assume even more horrors. Maxwell groomed kids for Epstein and occasionally took part in the rape, but for the most part wasn’t in the room, by choice. Maxwell seemed to be far more interested in just living a life of luxury.
Unfortunately Epstein was the main person who really knew each and every skeleton in all of the closets across the entire global corrupt system. The others who would probably be better informed than Maxwell, like his lawyer and accountant, are very free.
Mhhhhh without insider knowledge that’s a weird assumption to make. Behind every man…
Is it an assumption when Ghislaine is still alive?
Ghislaine wasn’t that involved with Epstein in the 2010s. She was mostly complicit in prostitution of minors in the 90s and 00s. In the later years: Epstein upgraded (downgraded?) to Karyna Shuliak, a younger girlfriend and accomplice he imported from Belarus in the 2010s.
