The wealthy US financier Jeffrey Epstein, indicted on charges he trafficked underage girls for sex, has committed suicide in
prison, US news media reported Saturday.
Epstein, who had hobnobbed with politicians and celebrities over the years and was already a convicted sex offender, hanged himself in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center and his body was found around 7:30 Saturday morning, The
New York Times and other media said, quoting officials.
Epstein, 66, had been found unconscious in his cell in late July with marks on his neck after an apparent suicide attempt.
