The Justice Department’s watchdog says negligence, misconduct and job failures enabled Jeffrey Epstein to take his own life at a federal jail in New York City while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Tuesday cited the federal Bureau of Prisons’ failure to assign Epstein a cellmate, problems with surveillance cameras and surplus bed linens in Epstein's cell despite a previous suicide attempt as factors in his 2019 death.Associated Press law enforcement reporter Mike Sisak explains the Inspector General’s findings.“They found that Jeffrey Epstein had an excess amount more than he needed of bed linens in his cell and bed linens were used in his suicide. They also found that Jeffrey Epstein had a previous suicide attempt about two weeks before his death, that he was placed on suicide watch, that he was on a psychological evaluation. And yet there were corners cut,” Sisak said.Horowitz said there was no indication of foul play, reiterating the findings of other investigations. The Bureau of Prisons says it accepts Horowitz’s recommendations and has updated its suicide watch process.“The inspector general, Michael Horowitz, also detailed some of Jeffrey Epstein's behavior in the days before his death, two days before he was found unresponsive in his cell. Jeffrey Epstein met with his lawyers and wrote a brand new last will and testament. Also, the night before his death, Jeffrey Epstein excused himself from a meeting with lawyers and made a phone call. He told a guard that he was calling his mother, who by that point had been dead for about 15 years,” Sisak said.
