Two cameras pointed toward the outside of the cell holding now-deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein that had reportedly malfunctioned at the time of his death have been sent to an FBI crime lab for examination, an unnamed law enforcement source told Reuters.
Epstein was in a Manhattan jail facing trial on child sex trafficking charges when he was found dead in his cell on Aug. 10. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging by the New York City Medical Examiner’s office. But during a court hearing on Aug. 27, Epstein’s lawyers told a judge they had doubts about whether the office’s conclusion was correct.
