The Metropolitan Correctional Center • Jeffrey Epstein
It's been confirmed that Epstein was found dead in his cell in the special housing unit of New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center on Saturday morning at around 6:30am EST.
'Apparent suicide'
Lifesaving measures were "initiated immediately by responding staff," and Epstein was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the Bureau of Prisons said on Saturday. The Bureau called his death an "apparent suicide," although an investigation has yet to determine this conclusively.
A number of officials told media outlets that Epstein had hanged himself in his cell, but no one, at the time of writing, has confirmed this publicly.
An FBI investigation has also been opened, and Attorney General William Barr later announced a Justice Department probe into Epstein's death, which he also called an "apparent suicide."
