Personally I am a contrarian about this in that I think that he did kill himself, but it was under the order of his superiors. I notice the "Epstein didn't kill himself" meme acts like it "solved the problem" when people proudly share it, but it only makes people complacent and stop their investigation there. The conspiracy theory is a government conspiracy designed to stop people looking deeper into his death and declare "mission accomplished" at deciding he was murdered rather than following the trail further and noticing how all the rich and powerful in the US were connected to him and how deeply corrupt the US system is at its core.
