Days before Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in 2019, the sex offender claimed he would never take his own life because, he said, suicide is forbidden in his Jewish faith.
In the Department of Justices latest release of files related to its Epstein investigation, prison notes from his time at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City where he was held while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges offer a closer look at his mental state.
The notes mentioned a possible suicide attempt on July 23, 2019. According to the notes, Epstein told an interviewers that "he could not remember what happened" on the day in question "because of his " 'sleep apnea.'"
During a psychological observation from July 26, 2019, it was written that Epstein "does not like pain and never attempt (sic) to harm himself."

(1,317 posts)Some people who go on to commit suicide will make efforts to hide what they are about to do to make sure they get to go through with it. Obviously others display signs they are going, but the path isn't the same for everyone.

(9,261 posts)Not liking pain is not a reason not to suixi3e. Many people suicide in order to STOP the mental and emotional pain they haven't been able to deal with any other way.
The ones who will never suicide are the ones who wouldn't dream of depriving the rest of the world of their wonderful presence.

And it is highly unlikely that any medical professional would (or indeed did) base an assessment on such tissue thin ...
