New twist emerges in Jeffrey Epstein's death as the Department of Justice reveals the pedophile was taken off suicide watch after being examined by a
'doctoral-level psychologist'
By ANDREW COURT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
A new twist has emerged in the death of Jeffrey Epstein, with the Department of Justice revealing that disgraced pedophile was removed from suicide watch by a doctoral-level psychologist before he hanged himself on August 10.
In a letter written to the House Judiciary Committee, which was obtained by Fox News on Friday, DOJ official Stephen E. Boyd wrote: ' The Department can confirm that Mr. Epstein was placed on suicide watch in July.
'Mr. Epstein was later removed from suicide watch after being evaluated by a doctoral-level psychologist who determined that a suicide watch was no longer warranted.'
It's thought Epstein first tried to kill himself on July 23, when he was found unconscious in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
He was rushed to hospital, before returning to the prison, where he was put on suicide watch.
The DOJ letter did not reveal when he was examined by the doctoral-level psychologist. Further, they did not name the psychologist - who, having attained a PhD doctorate - had achieved the highest possible level of education in their field.
Despite being taken off suicide watch, however, Epstein was not allowed to be left unattended in his cell, according to a bombshell report published in The Washington Post. However, the paper reported that, while at least eight Bureau of Prisons staffers knew of this fact, such orders were ignored in the 24 hours before Epstein's suicide.
The staffers reportedly included managers and low-level correctional officers alike.
Attorney General William Barr, who has ordered a probe into Epstein's death, has already removed the director of the federal Bureau of Prisons and appointed a new director and deputy director since Epstein died 13 days ago.
Meanwhile, Fox also reports that the jail's warden has been reassigned to a desk post at a regional office.
At least eight prison officials were ordered to assure Epstein wasn't left unattended in his cell,
yet they ignored the strict rules, leading to the pedophile's shocking suicide on August 10
Two guards who were supposed to be monitoring Epstein on the night of his suicide have also been placed on administrative leave.
Despite Barr's changes, he has dampened conspiracy theories that Epstein may have been murdered in his prison cell, by claiming that he believes the pedophile did, in fact, take his own life.
'I have seen nothing that undercuts the finding of the medical examiner that this was a suicide,' Barr said to reporters Wednesday.
Seriously! It's been known for centuries that if you hang someone they die from suffocation unless they drop some 8 or 10 feet and suddenly stop. Then, the hanging person's neck breaks. Epstein had a broken neck. Was it possible for him to hang himself and then drop 8 or 10 feet? Was his cell 10 feet high with something to tie his sheets to at the top? Did he have more than one sheet? Why?
Did the doctor remove him from suicide watch because Epstein told him it was attempted murder?
How many powerful people had motive to shut him up? And they certainly had opportunity.
'Epstein's death, I think we will see, was a suicide and I do think there are some irregularities at the Metropolitan Correctional Center,' he said, as per ABC.
