“#The questions that still need answering about Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s death<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Even before prosecutors announced they were likely shipping Ghislaine Maxwell to the the scandal-plagued New York lock up where her pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein died in custody last summer, alarm bells were pealing over her safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m absolutely worried for Ghislaine\u2019s safety,\u201d said Christopher Mason, a journalist and TV presenter who is app<\/a>earing in \u201cSurviving Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d a Lifetime documentary series<\/a> beginning next month. \u201cI kind of don\u2019t believe he [Epstein] committed suicide\u2026 His death seemed exceedingly convenient for many.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those concerns are likely gripping Maxwell herself, according to a lawyer for some of Epstein\u2019s victims, who predicted that the perv financier would die in jail last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may be that she can\u2019t handle the fear of what\u2019s going to happen to her and takes matters into her own hands or there will be people who are very afraid of what she has to say,\u201d said Spencer Kuvin in an interview last week with the Daily Mail. \u201cShe knows too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Epstein\u2019s apparent hanging in his cell on August 10 sparked a storm of controversy.<\/p>\n

Scandalous bungling at the Metropolitan Correction Center in lower Manhattan included guards failing to watch him despite a previous failed suicide try just two weeks beforehand.<\/p>\n

There were also competing autopsy reports, with one suggesting that Epstein did not die by hanging but was the victim of a homicide.<\/p>\n

More than a year after Epstein\u2019s death, it\u2019s still not clear what exactly happened to him in his cell in the hours before he died.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The events that preceded the death of Jeffrey Epstein were \u201ca perfect storm of screwups,\u201d said US Attorney General<\/a> William Barr. They actually began weeks before he was found unresponsive in his cell on the morning of August 10, and date to July 23 at 1:27 a.m. when Epstein was found on the floor of his cell in a fetal position and with bruises around his neck in what authorities said was an attempted suicide.<\/p>\n

His cell mate at the time \u2014 a former cop charged in a quadruple homicide \u2014 claimed to have saved his life when he alerted prison guards. Nicholas Tartaglione, 51, said through his lawyer that he had become \u201cgood friends\u201d with Epstein and denied previous news<\/a> reports that he had beaten him in their cell.<\/p>\n

Epstein was immedia<\/a>tely placed on suicide watch on July 23, and by July 30 that watch was moved to \u201cheightened psychological observation\u201d which required that he have a cell mate, and guards monitoring him every 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

But on August 9, an unidentified cell mate was removed from Epstein\u2019s cell and transferred to another facility. At 7:49 p.m., Tova Noel, a 31-year-old federal prison guard returned Epstein to his cell after a meeting with one of his attorneys.<\/p>\n

Noel had started work at 4 p.m. and was doing a double shift. She had already worked several overtime shifts at the prison that week, and by 10 p.m. she reported that the prisoners in 9-South, a special wing of the facility which housed inmates in protective custody, were locked in their cells for the night.<\/p>\n

Noel was supposed to conduct an inmate count, but surveillance video showed that she and another unidentified guard failed to do so.<\/p>\n

By midnight, Noel was joined by Michael Thomas, 41, another prison guard. During the night, Noel and Thomas surfed the internet and shopped for motorcycles and furniture, court documents say. At one point, both dozed off for two hours, according to surveillance video. They did not check in on Epstein as required, and later reported their negligence to a supervisor.<\/p>\n

At 6:30 on the morning of August 10, the guards discovered Epstein unresponsive in his cell when they went to take him a tray of breakfast. In the minutes before a call was placed to emergency responders, MCC staff tried to revive Epstein, according to the Bureau of Prisons.<\/p>\n

Epstein was taken by ambulance to New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital by members of the FDNY and other emergency responders at about 7:30 am. As he lay on a gurney in his orange prison jumpsuit, seemingly lifeless, his pale, ashen face nearly matching the color of his white hair, and surrounded by FDNY, police and EMTs, New York Post photographer William Farrington snapped Epstein from a distance as an EMT used a purple breathing apparatus in an attempt to revive him.\u00a0 The image shocked the world \u2014 showing the most notorious pedophile in modern history in the moments before his death.<\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/img>

The photo immediately sparked conspiracy theories that Epstein had been felled by the powerful forces that wanted him silenced. An internet meme \u2014 \u201cJeffrey Epstein didn\u2019t kill himself\u201d \u2014 exploded on social media and many observers noted that he had died less than a day after a tranche of more than 2,000 documents containing lurid testimony from his sex-abuse victims was unsealed in a case involving Maxwell.<\/p>\n

As soon as the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed his death, the Justice Department announced an investigation by both the FBI and the Inspector General. Barr said he was \u201cappalled\u201d by the turn of events.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Epstein\u2019s death raises serious questions that must be answered,\u201d he said. \u201cIn addition to the FBI\u2019s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein\u2019s death.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within a day of those comments, the MCC prison warden \u00a0Lamine N\u2019Diaye was reassigned to a regional office pending the two investigations, and the two federal guards tasked with watching over Epstein were immediately placed on administrative leave.<\/p>\n

In addition to the government probes into his death, Epstein\u2019s brother Mark hired former medical examiner Michael Baden to accompany the autopsy at the city\u2019s Office of the Medical Examiner. Baden had briefly worked as New York\u2019s medical examiner in the late 1970s and led a panel that examined the assassination of President John F. Kennedy years earlier, and was often contracted by the families of victims who suspected foul play in their deaths.<\/p>\n

On August 16, Barbara Sampson, the city\u2019s chief medical officer, said in a brief statement that following \u201ca careful review of all investigative information, including complete autopsy findings,\u201d that Epstein had committed suicide by hanging.<\/p>\n

Months later, on October 30, Baden made his own explosive analysis public. He found that Epstein had suffered a number of injuries, including a broken bone in his neck, that \u201care extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the evidence points to homicide rather than suicide,\u201d said Baden, whose findings added fuel to the conspiracy theories that had been circulating for months.<\/p>\n

At a federal prison oversight hearing in November, shortly after Baden\u2019s findings were made public, Sen. John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, said drywall, Christmas ornaments and Epstein were \u201cthree things that don\u2019t hang themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what the American people think, and they deserve some answers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Barbara Sampson, the city\u2019s chief medical officer, disagreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stand firmly behind our determination of the cause and manner of death in this case,\u201d she told the New York Times. \u201cIn general, fractures of the hyoid bone and the cartilage can be seen in suicides and homicides.\u201c The bone is near the Adam\u2019s apple, where Baden said that Epstein suffered three fractures.<\/p>\n

Baden had found that the hyoid bone had been fractured in multiple places, and he insisted that the injuries were consistent with strangulation.<\/p>\n

On November 19, the US Attorney\u2019s Office announced the unsealing of an indictment charging Noel and Thomas with \u201cconspiring to make false records and to defraud the United States by impairing the lawful functions of the Metropolitan Correctional Center.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendants had a duty to ensure the safety and security of federal inmates in their care,\u201d said then US Attorney Geoffrey Berman. \u201cInstead, they repeatedly failed to conduct mandated checks on inmates, and lied on official forms to hide their dereliction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Noel and Thomas pleaded not guilty and their lawyers said that their clients were being made into scapegoats for the mismanagement of the federal prison system that resulted in Epstein\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Months after Epstein\u2019s death, new questions arose. In January, the FBI found that surveillance video taken from outside Epstein\u2019s cell during his first suicide attempt on July 23 had been erased.<\/p>\n

The MCC \u201cinadvertently preserved video from the wrong tier within the MCC and as a result, video from outside the defendant\u2019s cell on July 22-23, 2019 no longer exists,\u201d court papers say.<\/p>\n

What happened to the video, and what is the explanation for the broken bones that Baden found in Epstein\u2019s neck?<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Like Epstein before her, Maxwell, 58, is widely expected to name names and expose powerful captains of industry, world leaders and even royalty in her defense. \u201cShe of all of those people knew who slept with whom, and who was assigned to whom,\u201d said Mason.<\/p>\n

Maxwell, the youngest daughter of disgraced British press baron Robert Maxwell, faces six felony counts of child sex-abuse in the indictment against her which alleged that she schemed with Epstein and lied about trafficking women, some as young as 14, between 1994 and 1997.<\/p>\n

The charges include alleged sex crimes in her London townhouse where Prince Andrew has separately been accused by an Epstein \u201csex slave\u201d of sleeping with her multiple times, beginning when she was 17.<\/p>\n

Although some are worried about Maxwell\u2019s detention at the same decrepit facility where Epstein died, at least one of her old friends isn\u2019t overly worried.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever happens to Ghislaine Maxwell I hope there is justice for the victims,\u201d said Christina Oxenberg, a writer and Serbian royal who has known Maxwell for years. \u201cI think the greater risk is that her connections work for her and she walks.\u201d<\/p>\n
