Former Cellmate Claims Jeffrey Epstein Attempted Suicide Three Times

A former cellmate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has come forward to claim that the financier attempted to take his own life not once, but three times while being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.

The former inmate, who has chosen to remain anonymous, revealed that Epstein's behavior became increasingly erratic in the days leading up to his eventual death in August 2019.

According to the source, Epstein's first attempt took place in July 2019, when he allegedly cut himself with a shard of broken glass. However, the incident reportedly went unreported to prison officials.

The second incident occurred just days later, when Epstein was said to have tried to overdose on a stash of prescription pills.

It wasn't until the third attempt in July 2019 that Epstein's suicidal tendencies were taken seriously, with the former cellmate claiming that Epstein was removed from the general population and placed under close supervision.
