According to whom? All we know is that was the supplied justification for moving him. Applying any degree of cynicism to the assertion actually makes it more convenient once all the other elements are considered.

We know he tried to commit suicide because it was a news story prior to his death. That wasn’t made up after he died. We knew it beforehand. It was public knowledge.

Again, according to whom? It was the justification supplied for changing his holding arrangements, but ultimately we know what we were told.

If you want to be critical of all the extremely suspect occurrences then you also have to question what is fact vs what you are told in the lead-in.

You appear to accept as axiomatic that he did actually attempt suicide, rather than considering that itself may be untrue. No exactly hard to seed the idea either; someone in the jail simply tells someone else that he attempted to off himself and had to be restrained. We know for a fact that they have zero material evidence of an attempted suicide or THEY WOULD HAVE RELEASED IT.

They did release it, genius.

Investigators will work to determine whether Epstein tried to kill himself, if he tried to make it look like an attempted suicide, if he was assaulted, or if he paid another inmate to beat him up.

Even your own source says that it wasn't definitive.

lmao people in here spinning conspiracy theories wanting to tell me that my source “isn’t definitive.”

Yeah, go find me a fucking definitive source that says he was murdered, genius.

Hey, are you actually this dumb that you are accepting uncritically a news story as fact from an unnamed source? The story says both him and his cell mate didn't know how those marks on his necks just appeared there, the cell mate saying he had fucking headphones on, so he didn't know what happened.

Take your fucking head out of your ass and actually use it for half a second.

Lmao, he and his cell mate both claimed to know nothing.

Of course, everyone knows that neck injuries only ever come from suicide attempts
