Mystery Surrounds Epstein's Exact Status Prior To 'Suicide'

Was Jeffrey Epstein on suicide watch at the time of his death—and if not, why not?
According to Newser, Epstein had been on suicide watch after he was found with injuries consistent with a suicide attempt on July 23.
However, it was decided six days later that he should be taken off suicide watch—with conditions.
He was to bunk with a cellmate in a special housing unit and receive a check from a guard every 30 minutes.
