Epstein booked for trafficking underaged girls

[Eddie Teach]

No conspiracy necessary, he was looking at a lengthy jail sentence as a convicted pedophile.

Seems like bankers with dirt on important people on both sides of the political divide are prone to suicide. 5 or so years ago a broker with probable dirt on both big political parties in Hungary "killed himself" on the back seat of a police car "taking something". 

Yeah, he tried to kill himself 2 weeks ago and they allowed him to finish the job?

[The Brain]

I hear he chopped himself up and put himself in the trash. Guy must've had some demons.

[derspiess]

Totally did not see that coming.

[HisMajestyBOB]

Well, guess that wraps everything up! Time to close the case and burn all the evidence.

[Josephus]

Let this serve a lesson to us all.

- You were the guard on the night that the inmate killed himself?
- Yes, your honor.
- And you say he hung himself?.
- Yes, your honor.
- So why did the suspect's skull have numerous bruises and fractures?
- He used a rubber band, your honor.

FTFY.  Another of the odd little quirks of English.

Why is this death being referred to as a suicide in much of the media, surely it's up to the relevant authorities to determine the cause of death?

Responsible media is calling it "apparent suicide," but much of the media isn't very responsible.  Why are you paying attention to irresponsible media?

  Sorry to have triggered you.  Not sorry to have helped Syt understand a quirk of English.

Maybe it's just a question of volume--there is so much more of the irresponsible media than there is of the responsible media.

If one is judging the quality of the media one consumes based on the volume, then one is doing it wrong.  That's the problem with things like Twitter and Facebook; content is vast, quality content is infinitesimal.  Luckily, it takes little effort to stay out of the main stream of social media.
