Epstein, who was being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Facility in New York City to await trial for alleged conspiracy and sex trafficking, bore marks on his neck, leading two sources to speculate that he may have tried to hang himself.
Investigators are not ruling out assault and have reportedly questioned another inmate named Nicholas Tartaglione, who is accused of killing four men. Tartaglione denies having anything to do with Epstein’s injuries, according to NBC.
