当地时间周日,纽约市首席法医表示,已对狱中死亡的杰弗里·爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)进行了尸检,但对其具体死因做出判断需要更多信息。 美国联邦监狱局表示,当地时间周六早晨,他们发现涉嫌少女性交易案的百万富翁爱泼斯坦在曼哈顿的一所监狱内死亡。监狱局称,他明显是自杀。
via Reuters 纽约首席法医芭芭拉·桑普森(Barbara Sampson)在声明中表示,纽约法医已经对爱泼斯坦进行了尸检。在爱泼斯坦代理人的要求下,尸检在一名私人病理学家的观察下进行。桑普森表示,让私人病理学家观察尸检是常规做法。 美国联邦调查局已经展开了调查,而司法部长威廉·巴尔(William Barr)随后也宣布对爱泼斯坦的死因进行调查,并称爱泼斯坦的死是“明显的自杀”。
JUST IN: Attorney General Bill Barr on Jeffrey Epstein: "I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody. Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered." 最新消息:司法部长比尔·巴尔就杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的死说:“我很震惊地得知,杰弗里·爱泼斯坦今天早上在联邦监狱被发现死于自杀。爱泼斯坦的死引发了一些必须回答的严重问题。” ▲via Twitter 在纽约法医还未对爱泼斯坦的死因作出结论前,外界对其死因的各种猜测甚嚣尘上。 The apparent suicide of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein immediately spawned allegations of prison negligence and even murder – and no wonder, given the confusing, scarce data available. 性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦明显的自杀行为立即引发了对监狱玩忽职守甚至谋杀的控诉——考虑到人们获得的信息令人困惑且稀缺,这也就不足为奇了。 ▲Suicide (non-)watch: What we know about Jeffrey Epstein’s death...and what we don’t (via RT)
If Epstein’s death is still under investigation, and no one can explain yet how he killed himself, why is mainstream media reporting it definitively as a suicide? Even the FBI is calling it an “apparent suicide.” 如果爱(电视剧)泼斯坦的死因仍在调查中,而且没有人能解释他是如何自杀的,为什么主流媒体将其定性为自杀?甚至联邦调查局也称其为“明显的自杀”。 ▲via Twitter 鉴于爱泼斯坦此前已经有过自杀企图,对于事发当晚,为何他还会被单独留在牢房,引发了外界对其死亡的“阴谋论”假设。 Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell on Saturday morning, with law enforcement sources telling multiple media outlets his death was a suicide. The 66-year-old millionaire had been held in custody since his arrest last month on charges of child sex trafficking and conspiracy. 周六早晨,爱泼斯坦被发现死在曼哈顿的牢房内,执法部门的消息人士告诉多家媒体,他死于自杀。自上个月被控儿童性交易和共谋罪被捕以来,这名66岁的百万富翁一直被拘留。 Puzzlingly, Epstein had supposedly been placed on suicide watch since he was found “injured and in a fetal position” in the cell two weeks ago, after a suspected hanging attempt. “Logistically speaking how does a person hang himself in solitary confinement under suicide watch?”asked conservative commentator Matt Walsh. 令人困惑的是,自从两周前爱泼斯坦被发现“受伤并以胎儿的姿势蜷缩”在牢房内,疑似试图上吊自杀,他本应被置于自杀监视之下。“从逻辑上讲,一个人如何在自杀监视下,在单独监禁的情况下上吊自杀?”保守派评论员马特·沃尔什问道。 ▲‘Whatever happened to suicide watch?’ Suspicion reigns as Epstein’s secrets die with him (via RT) 爱泼斯坦此前与不少政商界名流过从甚密。美国前总统比尔·克林顿也因疑似与爱泼斯坦走得近而受到质疑。克林顿的发言人7月初发表声明,称前总统克林顿对爱泼斯坦的可怕行径一概不知,与后者只不过是共同出行4次,办公室及家中短暂会面过2次的交情。
via Twitter 而作为过去和爱泼斯坦交情不错的美国总统特朗普则转推了有关爱泼斯坦和克林顿“阴谋论”的推文。

President Trump used his Twitter account Saturday to spread a baseless conspiracy theory about the death of Jeffrey Epstein. 周六,特朗普总统利用他的推特账号,散布了一个关于杰弗里·爱泼斯坦之死的毫无根据的阴谋论。 Trump’s Justice Department announced that Epstein, who was being held in a federal corrections facility, died by “apparent suicide.” 特朗普的司法部宣布,被关押在联邦监狱的爱泼斯坦死于“明显的自杀”。 But Trump appeared to disregard his administration’s statement, instead retweeting a message from conservative actor and comedian Terrence K. Williams, who suggested that Epstein’s death might be tied to former president Bill Clinton. Williams also questioned how Epstein could have died by suicide if he had been on suicide watch. 但特朗普似乎没有理会他的司法部的声明,而是转发了保守派演员、喜剧演员特伦斯·k·威廉姆斯的一条消息。威廉姆斯表示,爱泼斯坦的死可能与前总统比尔·克林顿有关。威廉姆斯还质疑,如果爱泼斯坦当时处于自杀监视状态,他怎么会自杀身亡。 ▲Trump retweets conspiracy theory tying the Clintons to Epstein’s death (via The Washington Post) 不过,对于特朗普转推的威廉姆斯关于前总统克林顿和爱泼斯坦的“阴谋论”,企图将公众注意力转移到克林顿身上的做法,网友们并不买账,纷纷在特朗普的推特上留言。
Every reporter in America should ask you whether you ordered it. 每一个美国记者都应该来问你,是否是你下命令策划了一切。
‘Trump retweets Epstein conspiracy theory, claiming Clinton connection’ 特朗普转发了关于爱泼斯坦的阴谋论,称克林顿与爱泼斯坦之死有关。 Donald, this actually doesn’t help your case. 唐纳德,这对你的案子没有帮助。 一些主流媒体的意见领袖以及他们的追随者也发表了“阴谋论”看法。
Authorities couldn’t keep Epstein alive by putting him under 24 hour surveillance? How convenient for a lot of rich and powerful men. 监狱不能通过24小时的监视来确保爱泼斯坦活着吗?(在监狱自杀)对很多有钱有势的人来说是多么方便啊。
Jeffrey Epstein, accused sex trafficker, dies by suicide. NO WAY!!! HE WAS ALLOWED TO DO THIS OR MURDERED. HE WAS ON SUICIDEWATCH. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TRULY POWERFUL PEOPLE BECOME NERVOUS. 被控性交易的杰弗里·爱泼斯坦自杀身亡。没有可能!!!他要么被允许这样做,要么被谋杀。他是在自杀监视中。当真正有权势的人变得紧张时,就会发生这种情况。 其他媒体人也在推特上质疑爱泼斯坦的死因。
I’m sorry but it’s extraordinarily fishy that a prisoner with this high of a profile, who had already allegedly attempted suicide before, was able to kill himself with success in a federal prison. 我很抱歉,但是非常可疑的是,这么高知名度的一名囚犯,据说之前已经试图自杀过,却能在联邦监狱里成功自杀。 This is an enormous scandal that must be investigated. Was he helped? 这是一个必须调查的巨大丑闻。是有人帮助他自杀的吗?
We need answers. Lots of them. 我们需要答案。很多答案。 爱泼斯坦这个瓜,你猜最后会牵扯出谁来? |
