Jeffrey Epstein had multiple sheets, electrical cord, prescription meds and note in jail cell where he kil – The Sun

MULTIPLE bed sheets, an extension cord and prescription medicine were reportedly found in Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell after his suicide.

Prison guards found a number of bed sheets - enough for several inmates - in his cell despite a prior suicide attempt while awaiting trial on sex charges, an upcoming 60 Minutes investigation reveals.

A handwritten note, pen, paper, an extension cord and medication were also uncovered, according to the report set to air Sunday.

When Epstein's body was eventually discovered, sources told 60 Minutes that one prison guard could be overheard saying "breathe, Epstein, breathe."

Inmates could later be heard chanting the same, according to the 60 Minutes report.

Federal corrections officers reportedly called emergency services and tried to revive the 66-year-old's lifeless corpse on August 9.

His body was reportedly taken to the emergency room after it was found, a move that forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden says goes against Bureau of Prisons protocol.

"No, that's not normal protocol," said Baden, who was hired by Epstein's brother to investigate his death.

"The EMS people normally - and especially in jail - should not move a dead body."

In cases of suicide, correctional service staff and other law enforcement personnel should "handle the site with the same level of protection as any crime scene in which a death has occurred," according to the BoP's program statement.

The New York City Department of Corrections didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Sun Online.

Law enforcement officials confirmed on August 10 that the billionaire had taken his own life at Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.

He had been held without bail pending trial on child sex-trafficking charges.

The two prison guards responsible for checking in on Epstein the night of his suicide allegedly fell asleep and surfed the internet during his jail cell death, according to court testimony.

Tova Noel and Michael Thomas were later charged with falsifying records to cover up their failure to watch the shamed sex offender.

Noel and Thomas pleaded not guilty in November and were released on $100,000 bond each, the New York Post reported.

Rumors about a suicide conspiracy swirled weeks after Epstein's death when sources told The Washington Post that video showing his July suicide attempt inside the maximum security prison was unusable.

A lawyer for the financier's former cellmate claimed the video no longer existed on December 18.

Two days later, it was revealed that the CCTV footage was preserved by MCC staff, sparking an FBI probe into the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death.

Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from underage girls in 2008.

He was forced to register as a sex offender and paid restitution to three dozen victims identified by the FBI.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite accused of procuring underage girls for the billionaire, is currently hiding in safe houses in the UK and Israel to evade the scandal.

Her evasion has caused trouble for other Epstein pals like Prince Andrew, who reportedly begged Maxwell to publicly defend his name.

The alleged madam is the only witness to Virginia Roberts' claims she was forced to have sex with the disgraced Duke of York when she was 17.
