Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Julie K. Brown questioned the official suicide ruling in Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 prison death, arguing the disgraced financier lacked the physical strength to break three neck bones.
Most significantly, Brown noted Epstein did not change his will until August 8 — two days before his death — despite allegedly writing a suicide note on July 23.
"Did he change his will because he intended to take his own life – or because he feared someone else would kill him?" Brown questioned.
She also cited prison irregularities: Epstein was alone in his cell contrary to orders, two officers fell asleep, cameras failed, and a forensic pathologist concluded his death was not suicide while the medical examiner ruled it was.
