Let's put it this way: do you honestly think that such a high profile inmate would not have been monitored 24/7? Do you honestly think that if they wanted his death to look like suicide, they wouldn't have paved the way well in advance to substantiate that claim? And do you honestly think that killing himself after a mere few days of incarceration, a strong man with billions of dollars to sustain an excellent legal defence, would have done himself in? No way! No matter what your findings, I still maintain that his death was suspicious and that there were extremely powerful people who stood to lose a great deal more than money if Epstein was allowed to testify in court. It was in the interest of those powerful people to make sure that Epstein's mouth was zipped up for good. Either that, or some other poor fellow got murdered and his body used as decoy while Epstein was safely shipped away on some remote island, safe from incarceration or death from fellow inmates. In my view, the fate of such a powerful man as Epstein cannot be so simple as suicide.

I absolutely agree you should question everything, but you say you didn’t follow the case closely, and there’s lots of evidence by two forensic pathologists that it was Epstein. They don’t make mistakes like that; they do sometimes screw up identifying whether cause of death was suicide vs. homicide, etc. Admittedly, certain suggestions are frustrating because they’re so out there and hurt reputations w/o reason. That’s all. Questioning everything is good, but the truth is readily available if you choose to look closely.

@@freespiritchristina Dear Christina, you have to understand that with powerful people anything is possible! they will buy off medical professionals, fake a death certificate, do ANYTHING, as long as they are not exposed. No slight on the medical profession as a general rule, but if you don't know by now, that in every profession or industry, there are actually plenty of people without integrity like you, who will do ANYTHING for money, then you are still a bit naive. No offence, because I can tell from what you've written here that you're an upstanding person. Just that not everyone is like you. and in the case of Epstein, you have to know that he had a whole lot of information on high profile people, even videos that he kept to use for blackmail purposes. I honestly believe this was a huge coverup. Epstein may still be alive for all we know. Just my opinion, dear.

I found a fellow American. 😅 Guards most certainly open cells to allow and/or encourage convicts to "take care" of someone. COs sleep on shift often. USP Atlanta was somewhat recently closed due to the outlandish amount of corruption from COs. The ATF, CIA, and National Guard were dispatched to the prison. All incarcerated people were put on 24/7 lock down and COs detained. Then the National Guard went to each cell individually in full military riot gear, threw in pepper spray grenades, and extracted inmates putting them in "hog tie" style restraints, and allowed them to stay covered in pepper spray until after they were sent to other prisons across the US. The inmates were not behaving in any way that would typically be considered for brute force. I sincerely doubt anyone will truly be held accountable for the atrocities that happened there.

It included having at least six guards round the clock, none of whom knew each other previously, but ultimately a public 24 hr live stream from his cell! It was so obvious it was going to happen.

As a health care provider, I work with people with a wide array of mental and physical problems. I strive to always be professional with all my patient interactions, reminding myself that my job is to render aid to a human being in stress. It can be hard to set aside my own feelings, because sometimes the patients' actions are so alien to my own moral/ethical code. But I remind myself, my job is to provide a service and not to be a friend. While I try to always be objective, I have to admit that I do not think Epstein committed suicide. The timing is suspicious. I'm glad that you, Dr. Das, are out there assessing the mentally disordered so I don't have to, psych was my least favorite rotation. So these days, I assess for homicidal/suicidal ideation on new admissions; and then, if necessary, get to call on a doctor such as yourself to consult on such cases. I like your example of how to approach the subject of suicidal/homicidal ideation.

If he had been handed a life sentence, I wouldn't have any doubt it was self inflicted. Just like most people who have his personality type. I believe it was a hired hit to protect other rich and powerful people. If I were a psychologist assessing him, I'd do my job. Same with any offender. I may not like them. Their crimes may be the worst kind of crimes. But it's my job - and there are far too many things that can be learned in these evaluations for the victims and for investigators working on his associates, or offenders like him, for my personal feelings to get in the way. The job is too important. I would however, lean into my sessions with other professionals and bath in bleach.

That's where they send you while you wait on bail, which he was waiting for and could have got it, so it don't make sense to off yourself when your fate ain't even sealed yet. I could see him hanging himself once he had his trial, was found guilty, and was sentenced to 40 years or whatever, but none of that had come to pass. Even though he would've been labelled a flight risk and would've probably been denied bail, there's still a chance he could've beaten the charges by cross examining all the girls and call them willing participants and essentially prostitutes (because they were paid and went along with him on trips). His high-priced dream team defence would've victim blamed them into oblivion and it might've been enough to sway a jury. Or they could bribe a few jury members or even the judge. When you got millions to throw at your defense, ending it all before you know the outcome seems highly suspicious.

He's too in love with himself, too arrogant, too narcissistic, too self absorbed, a legend in his own mind. Secondly, considering the history of only what we do know of the many crime's our government and the CIA have committed, continue to commit, including the accidental leak of their plan to assassinate Julian Assange...the CIA can take someone out quicker than the time it takes to slip on a banana peel and no one the wiser. Come on, it doesn't even take an armchair psychiatrist/detective to figure that one out! Lastly, dead men can't talk. He was a massive liability and what he knew and who he knew it about would literally have disastrous consequences. With his knowledge he held the power to expose countless criminal's in high places, topple many empires, Including the US Government.

When you hear about people who have committed suicide, you are often taken completely by surprise. So, it is highly likely that he did kill himself, and was able to fly under the radar during assessment. I am also thinking that he would have had some inkling that he was going to get a long prison sentence (and he wouldn’t have wanted that). Re assessing his suicidal ideation, I would hope that any professional would be able to separate his crime from the way they assess him. If they can’t, then what are they doing in that job. Thanks.

In my opinion I think it wasn't suicide, but I would also imagine he may have been encouraged if it was. The information he had on some of the world's most powerful people or just the sheer disgust at what he had done would be enough for it to either be silencing or vigilante justice, though the latter would likely not be covered as a suicide. Were I in control then yes, I would have taken all of the steps necessary to ensure not only that he was monitored carefully for suicide watch, but also protected from others. Not only because it's what should be done in the justice system, but also because he could be used to identify other culprits en mass. There are likely criminals walking away from this without ever receiving justice for as long as they live. Prince Andrew is an obvious example. Legally he hasn't been convicted, but we all know he's guilty. He will likely never get what he deserves and will live comfortably for 30 or so years.

Even if he were to be released on bail he was estranged from everyone, he had lost everything including what mattered most - his reputation. His life would never be the same and he new he would finally face consequences for his actions. I think that he took the opportunity when the guards didn’t make it around in time to make sure he didn’t have to deal with the consequences of his actions that his money finally couldn’t shield him from. It was probably quite impulsive as these attempts are but he was serious about it and obviously ended up being successful. The worst thing about it is he stopped his victims from seeing him punished in court. As far as treating him professionally, I think I could separate my personal feelings to treat him. Especially if it meant seeing him mentally safe enough to stand in court so the victims could have their closure. I think as a psychiatrist treating offenders your job is to treat all people because all people have a right to mental health treatment no matter what they have done, and by treating them you also help the victims of the crime by ensuring the perpetrators make it court and are as healthy as they can be (mentally) for the court hearings to go ahead.

His injuries don't seem conducive to suicide. There were multiple fractures of his neck including the hyoid bone. Further, there was seemingly no force applied to his neck that would have resulted in the injuries indicatwd if one factors in his alleged method of suicide. The multiple fractures align with homicide more than suicide, in my opinion. If he was alive and in treatment his crimes should have no bearing on his treatment. It's an obligation to provide the best treatment possible to aid in his rehabilitation even if he was given a life sentence. Those who are treatment providers shouldn't act as judge, jury and executioner but act in the patient's best interests, no exceptions. All guesses, of course, because I wasn't there but it's always interesting to speculate given the facts that we have available!

Yes, I’ll take number 1. He was “suicided”. I’ve assisted in quite a few autopsies and I’ve seen his autopsy photos. They weren’t self inflicted with that soft of a cloth at the height. Very traumatic injuries for that kind of ‘hanging’. Cameras not working, given a ton of sheets what was that? Just my opinion-can we talk about Brunel as well?

I love that you pointed out risk assessment is an art. As you were talking, before saying that, I was thinking to myself that it is definitely an art or “scart”, as a former professor of mine liked to call it (science and art). I 100% agree that rapport needs to be developed and the clinician shouldn’t be robotic. I also approach this topic similarly to the way you do, and find it’s much more effective. I do not think Epstein killed himself. Love your content (and your humor!), per usual! 🥰 Oops, forgot to say-I’d have no trouble separating his crime from assessing him professionally. I’ve only had 1 person in my career that made me want to steer clear. I assessed that person one time, and not a second.

New to your channel and appreciate your observations in tying threads together in a complex case. As for the question of can one clinically treat an individual they find morally repulsive, the answer is yes. As a critical care nurse (for three decades) I can attest to those situations. A patient who murdered an entire family, a patient who axe murdered their grandparents over a set of car keys, a violent repeat sexual offender, a patient who had kidnapped and sexually abused an underage relative…my responsibility was to separate emotional aversion from my responsibility to care for the body regardless of how harshly I may judge the act. I don’t believe I have the right to decide who receives treatment and who doesn’t. At a bare minimum, repairing the person physically makes it possible for them to stand trial and undergo legal scrutiny. Who am I to deny that right?

@jmas1219 Жыл бұрын

On balance, because of his personality type, I can't see Epstein's death as suicide. He wasn't in the least bit subtle - the arrogance required to do what he did precludes that - so I can't see him being tricky enough to set up the ideal circumstances to allow himself the opportunity to kill himself unobserved. Plus how was he to know that the guards that night would be asleep/internet browsing. Also of course he was days away from possible release. Then there's the coincidence of the way his hyoid bone was broken. It is within the bounds of possibility that it was broken by hanging himself but it is an outside chance. Nope. It just doesn't add up to suicide.

The paperwork recorded that he denied being suicidal and denied having a history of mental health problems, but paperwork also showed that he was ticked as being black and having committed no sex crimes - so it's very hard to believe any of the paperwork. I think he did kill himself, because he would have realised that there was no way he could wriggle out of a long prison term and he probably thought better to do it now that later when it would be more difficult (in terms of privacy and supervision). Ghislaine Maxwell has all the names, so getting rid of Epstein (if that's what happened) would have done only half the job of a cover up, and as far as I know, she is still alive.

Dr Das. I am a relatively new viewer to you as a yt creator. I have previously enjoyed your simplified approach while still maintaining your professional credibility. It is nice to see that a psychiatrist might be approachable, even slightly comedic. In my experience, psychiatrists have their own kind of quirk, and you demonstrate this finely. I have found your opinions to be clear and insightful. I watched this episode with interest, and then dismay. Regardless of the crimes committed, i shouldn't hold you to a higher standard but I do, the mockery and the attempt at humour was atrocious, contextually poor, unnecessary to the cause. Combined with your constant weird plugging of your previous work, this episode was disjointed and to be honest, hit very few points. You did not give me any such tools to determine the cause of death. Speculation and personal opinion blended with your own experience do not make a fact. If you are a KZfaqr, then this performance is at least baseline adequate. But you sir are a doctor of psychiatry, not a muppet of the same. Be one or the other, but be a jackass without the label of psychiatrist. You may consider further a review of your own psychiatric meds, i know you reviewed the video, surely you observed the aberrant behaviour? Disappointing. Very.

What I would do, Is what I've done I tried to commit suicide. When I explained why they assumed I was borderline which I wasn't it was trauma. I get that from looking from the inside out. And I dealt with multiple teen suicides of my kids friends. And you stay so close you're glued to the ones you know are most vulnerable it's in the eyes. Most importantly ask them about the future. Not directly not theirs. But in what they think their bands or anything close to them would be doing. So take them out and input someone else and see how they respond. Because they will have a very good rehearsed response if you focus on them. You can usually see the wave hit them when they realize when have no intentions of seeing it.

I don’t think Epstein killed himself, but I can offer a little about Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Suicidal behavior is a clinically significant cause of mortality in those with NPD, but is not well understood (and understudied). What I find really interesting is that suicidal behavior is actually more common in people with NPD than any other Cluster B personality disorder, although they are the least impulsive. In one study I’ve read, they state suicidal ideation may come from a need to protect their self-image of “perfection,” shame, a narcissist injury, feeling exposed or like a failure. It actually makes a lot of sense to me that maybe suicide feels like the only way out for some at these times while incredibly overwhelmed. You may have heard that narcissists are basically black holes with no real sense of selves, so being “found out” must be terrifying! How they are perceived/imagine is everything to them. Covert/vulnerable narcissists have particularly fragile egos. Just a little example that has been in the news somewhat recently. Think about Brian Laundrie, who strangled his fiancé Gabby Petito to death, then hid like a spineless coward from the law! He eventually wrote a disgusting seven page suicide note/story saying it was a mercy killing and he, ironically, couldn’t go on without Gaby, the woman he killed (total BS), so he shot himself. This abusive murderer actually thought he was the victim! He was certainly a covert narcissist and even in video footage and pictures seemed timid with zero personality (black hole), leaching off his fiancé. He only killed himself because he didn’t want to rot in prison the rest of his life. He also probably didn’t want to face the public. He took the easy way out. He’s also a classic example of a narcissists not taking responsibility for anything, even their own behavior. Psychopathy is associated with narcissism, but narcissists are not always psychopaths. Psychopaths really are void of feelings, not just empathy, so I‘d think they’d be less likely to commit suicide. Sociopaths can be incredibly impulsive and reckless. Epstein had been to prison before and only spent EIGHT hours a day in there! I doubt he had a grasp on the reality of his future. Maybe he did. I still think there’s a lot of evidence it was manual strangulation. I also think he had antisocial personality disorder.

There's probably not enough data, but on top of the rest of the risk factors they also have the recognizability. They won't be able to serve their sentence in anonymity like everyone else, and it's not an option to start over quietly, if you get out of prison. It wouldn't be unrealistic if they have a higher risk of suicide than the average person.

I agree he didn't kill himself. Why? Narcissists rarely do unless it's truly the 'end of the road. He had options, possibly bail where he could have tried an escape. If convicted he wouldn't be in general pop anyway because he has status and money and would have a cushy stay wherever they sentence the rich to here. Also he really didn't give a flying f about what others think bc he was rich, saw himself as invincible, and had friends in very high places. Now would have I had put him on 24 hour 1:1 suicide watch? You betcha! High profile case with someone who has lots of charges to answer to, I wouldn't put anything past him or others in charge of watching him. He should have had continued 1:1 guard regardless of what suicide assessment said. In America they say not enough resources until the person is high profile. So no excuse whatsoever for him being unwatched and dead. I worked in mental health 20+ years so still have a bit of a clue, I'd like to think. I enjoy that you are optimistic and upfront about forensic mh issues! Will be watching you more.

regardless of what potential there was in the trial outcome, he’d already lost reputation and so there was no possibility of him regaining the status he once enjoyed, so it could make sense that he calculated that and his ego couldn’t take the possibility of a life less than what he had, given that status seemed to be very important to him.

Truly, I couldn't give a rodent's derrierre whether Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide or was murdered. I just like to hear you talk. For my part, I've considered suicide many times throughout my life. Not to the point of making a plan, but always thought of it as an option, if my anxiety and depression got 'bad enough'. At some point, though, I just decided that I might as well see how it ends. My motto became "Despair is a liar". At one point, I was so stressed and fearful that I was hallucinating - that went on for months. Then, overnight, I was offered the best, most enjoyable job I've ever even imagined - with a salary that covered everything I needed. That changed my whole outlook to the point that I've never thought of it again. Life sorta sucks now, but nothing's quite as sure as change, eh? I could never leave my little doggy to some goofball's care. As it turns out, he's that soul mate I've sought most of my life.

At intake he was given some basic exams. Medical and psychological because they have to put him in the safest possible place for prison. I’m sure he passed those at intake. That’s where it gets down to prison and the cells. If he was on watch he’s in a cell alone in medical. He’s naked in that blanket wrap. Guards make rounds as much as they can but medical is very busy. It’s where most COs are. But none of the inmates want that situation unless they been there long enough to have enemies. Prison guards as a lot. We are tired. Our paper work is sometimes hand written and our LT types it up and cuts things out and adds things in. He may have wanted creature comforts of a cell off watch just to do what he did. The more affluent inmates seem to acclimate a lot harder. The food before they can buy commissary is rough on them and then how you make phone calls. He’s out in the open and all those inmates know he has money. Even if he wasn’t in the news. They can tell. Do guards fall asleep on duty? 😂 I wish I had a dollar for every cube I walked in with a sleeping male guard inside. It’s not funny but it’s funny if you know the guard. How often do they make rounds checking on inmates? It depends on how much staff they have and if they are doing the count. You could only walk the tier 4 times in 24 hours. Guards don’t have tvs. They don’t have cell phones. (Unless they are prison swat) it’s pretty much you an ink pen and constant noise and people at the door asking for razors, soap, and shaving powder. Others ask for candy and coffee creamer. As a guard walking in and hearing the noise and the over all atmosphere. It’s a lot to take in. The smell inside is different. Then knowing even as a guard you are behind 3 fences. 11 doors and locked inside with 200 killers , murderers, and rapist. When things happen like murders inside or rapes. Almost 100% of the time as a guard you find out when they report it to your supervisor by suggestion box. You want to help a person who is sick. You can’t. I have reported at the least 10 inmates for mental health and been told I was not supposed to care. I have called medical and talked to the on staff physician. He has told me he can’t see that inmate for days. Not his fault but almost all inmates have some mental heath issues. The prison system as a whole is messed up!
