Yes, LR, the official narrative usually has to be able to be theoretically possible, although that doesn't speak to how probable or believable it is. An extremely interesting confluence of events must occur to create this scenario:
-He is nearly killed a few weeks ago, a judge orders a suicide watch.
-Somehow (I believe) this is apparently lifted a few days ago, unclear why this would be allowed.
-Both (!) guards had fallen asleep while this happened.
-There should be a camera on the cell, and I've heard it might have been turned off. I'll try to read more on this point; maybe it exists and hasn't been discussed by anyone? That would be almost weirder than if it was magically turned off.
-A guy on a suicide watch was apparently given a sturdy bedsheet and a bunk bed?? And not just 'some' suicide risk, but the guy literally everyone in the world thought was going to be assassinated in jail and were just waiting for the shoe to drop.
-No one heard anything.
This is a guy who should have been kept in cryogenic suspension and guarded at the pentagon, and instead whoopsie, look at all these separate bits of bad luck. And magically they're not just bad luck for him, but bad luck for anyone who might want to know what happened. Oops! I guess a few low-level bureaucrats and the two guards will be fired for this (and rehired elsewhere next month). I've read that the guards may have also falsified records but I'm not sure about that one yet.

DREBIN: Nothing to see here! Move along! Nothing to see here!
And I'll reiterate what I mentioned earlier, which is that if you give a random shmo a bedsheet and a bunk bed, I bet you they will have a lot of trouble killing themselves with it. Bunk beds aren't all that high up, so your feet and legs are going to be clattering around, maybe even hitting the floor. Bedsheets get surprisingly fat when twisted around and rolled up (like as if you were rope-ifying it) and might be difficult to tie around as you would with a noose. I guess it would be unethical to request some TV show to run experiments on whether average people can kill themselves like this on average. I almost think you'd have to have been instructed (or dare I say it, trained) on how to execute this kind of suicide with good confidence you'll succeed. Don't forget - most suicides you hear about are going to be tainted by survivorship bias (or in this case, success bias); you don't read about all the people who tried various mundane ways to die and failed. I suspect it's not that easy to *be sure* you'll get something like this right on the first try. In Epstein's case one failure would mean spending the rest of his jail term in a straightjacket, most likely.
