    I'll believe that when they show us the cell footage. It is either a staggering lack of care for a prisoner with heads that need to roll for it or it was not a suicide.

      It's not particularly uncommon for people to commit suicide in jail. It was weird with Epstein because of how convenient it was and the fact that he was on suicide watch, McAffee wasn't on suicide watch. McAffee was already in jail for 8 months in Spain and they decided to extradite him to the US. In the US he'd spend the rest of his life in jail. He was already in a very bad spot psychologically after spending months in jail in Spain, by his own admission. So, he killed himself. I seriously don't understand what is so weird about it. It's kinda weird how Epstein brain has seemingly made many people believe someone actually killing themselves in jail just can't happen. Also there is no "cell footage", normal cells don't have cameras running 24/7 for privacy concerns. That is only the case if someone is on suicide watch, which, again, he wasn't. Prisoners aren't under constant surveillance unless there is a very, very good reason.

      Like, it's not impossible that someone murdered him but there is 0 evidence for it or even a very good narrative for why, it seems far more likely that he just killed himself. He was more than 70 years old anyways, of course he doesn't want to die of old age in prison.

      They wont release any footage and it wont be suspicious in the slightest, because prisons dont have liveleak accounts and dont just post suicide footage online to "prove" to the masses that someone actually killed themselves.

      Also like the other guy said he wasnt on suicide watch, they arent on surveillance or constantly monitored because that would be a breach of privacy and personal integrity.

        You do show the lawyers involved with his ongoing defence that footage though. As well as the family when they're demanding an investigation into whose responsibility it is.

        The insides of cells aren't on surveillance but corridors are and a block is actively monitored and cells are regularly checked.
