Many questions follow financier’s death

Officials said there had been numerous lapses at the federal jail in Lower Manhattan where Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell over the weekend. After being removed from suicide watch less than two weeks before, he was supposed to have been housed with another inmate, with guards checking in every 30 minutes. Apparently neither procedure was followed, officials said.

What’s next: The authorities will turn their attention to people whom Mr. Epstein’s accusers have said participated in a longtime scheme that involved the sexual exploitation of dozens of underage girls. Here’s what to expect in the criminal investigation.

Go deeper: One focus for investigators is likely to be the tens of millions of dollars that flowed through Mr. Epstein’s offshore companies and foundations in sometimes unusual ways.
