Jeffrey Epstein, who sex trafficked girls as young as 14, committed suicide in a Manhattan jail, officials say.
Law enforcement officials told ABC News that Epstein, 66, died by suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center overnight, though the exact timing and circumstances surrounding his death were not immediately clear.
A gurney carrying a man who looked like Epstein was wheeled out of the Manhattan Correctional Center around 7:30 a.m. and headed to New York Downtown Hospital. A call for a reported cardiac arrest came in at 6:38 a.m., Fire Department sources said.
Two weeks ago, Epstein, 66, was placed on suicide watch after he was found nearly unconscious in his cell with injuries to his neck.
Why was he allowed to kill himself when he was on suicide watch two weeks ago? He had a lot of information on serious crimes about famous people. He was held in one of the most secure jails in the city and should have been under constant watch. Did he know too much? This will be questioned.
The multimillionaire financier was being held without bail pending trial on child sex-trafficking charges.
He was never going to be let out of prison.
