Jeffrey Epstein has killed himself.

I didn't read any news about this yet, I just saw a blurb at the diner. (Link.)

On the one hand, I'm not grieving. He seems to have been a thoroughly awful person.

On the other hand, he already attempted suicide not that long ago. If suicide watch can mess up this badly with somebody who is both a. rich and b. very much in the public eye right now, how much care are they taking with every random dude off the street?

Not to mention someone belived to have held compromising material on a great many rich, powerful and shall we say less than ethical people?

I'll believe it was a suicide when the independent autopsy report shows up.


“It was suicide, wasn't it?"
"In an involuntary sort of way," said Vorob'yev. "These Cetagandan political suicides can get awfully messy, when the principal won't cooperate."
"Thirty-two stab wounds in the back, worst case of suicide they ever saw?" murmured Ivan, clearly fascinated by the gossip.
"Exactly, my lord.”
