As if President Trump fueling conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein’s apparent suicide weren’t enough, a distressing new report suggests that the former financier and convicted sex offender was not being monitored under suicide watch protocol when he died on Saturday. Additionally, Epstein’s Metropolitan Correctional Center cellmate was apparently moved ahead of schedule, and guards reportedly failed to check in on Epstein every half-hour as they were supposed to.

According to The New York Times, an unnamed law-enforcement official familiar with Epstein’s detention revealed that prior to his death, Epstein was housed alone in a cell—just two weeks after being taken off suicide watch, following a July incident in which he’d allegedly attempted self-harm. This was evidently against normal procedure for the facility, as was the absence of guards performing regular checks on Epstein’s health. The jail is also said to have notified the Justice Department that Epstein would have a cellmate and a guard looking into his cell every 30 minutes, “but that was apparently not done,” the Times writes.

“Officials cautioned that their initial findings about his detention were preliminary and could change,” the Times report also notes.

Epstein was first placed on suicide watch after a July 23 incident in which he was found unconscious in his cell with bruising on his neck, suggesting a possible attempted hanging. The 24-hour suicide watch protocol also included daily psychiatric evaluations, though Epstein was apparently taken off monitoring a mere 6 days after the incident. It is unclear why Epstein’s new cellmate—placed with him as part of the post-suicide watch protocol—was subsequently moved, and the Times report suggests that the two guards on duty in his special housing unit were working overtime in an already-short-staffed facility.

Epstein was awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy (he pleaded not guilty), after decades of allegations that he’d recruited underage girls for sex acts across his Florida and New York homes. His access to elite circles and past relationships with political figures like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton have fueled significant conspiracy theorizing around his suicide—a prospect the current president himself has brazenly stoked.

Both the FBI and Attorney General William Barr have pledged to investigate the circumstances of Epstein’s demise, as well as the MCC facility’s apparent failure to follow safety procedure.
