This was his second suicide attempt, according to prison officials.
According to prison officials, Epstein hanged himself and his body was found this morning at Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan at roughly 7:30 A.M.
A GoLocal review of thousands of documents relating to convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein finds close links to Rhode Island’s Ira Magaziner.
Magaziner is the father of Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner, who is considered to be a likely Democratic candidate for Governor of Rhode Island in 2022.
The senior Magaziner is a close friend and adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton and presently leads the Clinton Health Access Initiative.

Ira Magaziner has repeatedly refused to questions about his traveling with Epstein in Africa and Asia. Some trips included former President Clinton, Supermodel Naomi Campbell, and actors Chris Tucker and Kevin Spacey.
