Daily Mirror UK, 25 Aug 2019.
A psychologist approved billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein's removal from suicide watch before he killed himself, the US Justice Department has revealed.
Epstein was being held at a federal detention center in New York City on sex-trafficking charges when he was found dead on August 10. An autopsy concluded he hanged himself.
A letter from US from Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd confirmed Epstein had been placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan in July.
It meant he was held in a special cell under constant observation by staff or "inmate companions".
Epstein was "later removed from suicide watch after being evaluated by a doctoral-level psychologist who determined that a suicide watch was no longer warranted," Boyd wrote.

At the MCC, two jail guards are required to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed overnight, a source told Reuters.
The disclosures came in a letter dated on Thursday and addressed to the leaders of the Judiciary Committee of the US House of Representatives, seeking details about the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death.
His death triggered investigations by the FBI, the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General and the US Bureau of Prisons, which runs the detention facility.
In July, Epstein had been found unconscious on the floor of his jail cell with marks on his neck, before his death... officials were investigating that incident as a possible suicide attempt or assault.
