Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, commented, “Today’s events are disturbing, and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving Epstein’s many victims their day in Court. To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment – which included a conspiracy count – remains ongoing.”
Medical examiner is yet to determine the cause of Epstein’s death
According to reports, Epstein hanged himself. However, the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner is yet to determine the cause of Epstein’s death.
“There is no official cause of death yet. The medical examiner has to do their job. We are investigating the cause of death and we have an open case, according to a spokesman for the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner.
Late in July, it had been reported that authorities found Epstein in a fetal position in his cell. He was semiconscious and had marks on his neck.
