Quote from article: "Jeffrey Epstein probably killed himself."

I thought based on title that this was supposed to be non-magical. I am confused.

How would it be magical for Jeffrey Epstein to have killed himself?

It would be magically convenient for all the people he had blackmailed over the years.

From Epstein's point of view what reason would he have not to kill himself. He was NEVER going to leave that cell alive. He could drag it out for the rest of his natural life, or he could check out immediately.

I do think the guards knew/suspected he would do this and went out of their way not to interfere.

What motivation do you suppose the guards had if they "went out of their way not to interfere"?

To me it seems that such a choice on the part of the guards would amount to a serious dereliction of duty.

Why would they willful choose to do that?

I would assume you get a lot of shit protocol when an inmate kills themselves on your watch. Why would the guards be interested in that?

What is magical about the supposed suicide is that there is no video of him committing said act.

Or photographs of his body as it was found
