….and slam the ‘medieval conditions’ inside the Manhattan jail

• Jeffrey Epstein’s prison death was officially ruled a suicide by hanging on Friday

• Three of Epstein’s lawyers have announced that they will launch their own ‘independent and complete investigation’ into their clients death 


• Epstein was found with several broken bones in his neck leading to initial speculation that his death could have been a homicide 


• Conspiracy theories continue to swirl almost a week after his body was found 


• His death prompted outrage and disbelief over how such a high-profile prisoner could have been left without surveillance at the federal facility


• Epstein, known for socializing with the likes of Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving underage girls 

Three of Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers have announced that they will be conducting their own ‘independent and complete investigation’ into their client’s death after a coroner officially ruled that the pedophile died by hanging.

Martin G. Weinberg, Reid Weingarten and Michael Miller released a statement asserting that ‘no one should die in jail’ and blasting the Metropolitan Correctional Center’s ‘medieval conditions.’

‘His safety was the responsibility of the MCC,’ the lawyers said in a statement obtained by the New York Times. ‘It is indisputable that the authorities violated their own protocol.’

They later added: ‘We are not satisfied with the conclusions of the medical examiner. We will have a more complete response in the coming days.’

The lawyers have hired a private pathologist to assist with the investigation.

The medical examiner’s office said on Friday that an autopsy and other evidence confirmed the 66-year-old hanged himself in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan last week.

The billionaire pedophile, who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving underage girls, hanged himself with a bed sheet from the top set of bunks, according to officials.

He was found with several broken bones in his neck, including the thyroid bone, when guards were doing their morning rounds last Saturday.

Revelations of the broken bones in his neck lead to speculation that his death was a homicide and conspiracy theories continue to swirl almost a week after his body was found.

His death prompted outrage and disbelief over how such a high-profile prisoner, known for socializing with powerful people including presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, could have been left without surveillance at the federal facility.

Jeffrey Epstein’s death has officially been ruled a suicide after his autopsy found he hanged himself in his New York cell

Epstein, who was charged with sexually abusing numerous underage girls over several years, had been placed on suicide watch last month after he was found on his cell floor on July 23 with bruising on his neck.

Multiple sources have said Epstein was taken off the watch after a week and put back in a high-security housing unit where he was less closely monitored but still supposedly checked every 30 minutes.

Attorney General William Barr says officials have uncovered ‘serious irregularities’ at the federal jail following Epstein’s death.

The FBI and the Justice Department are both investigating.
