Billionaire financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell Saturday, multiple news outlets report.
Officials suspect Epstein died by suicide.
He was taken from New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center at 3:30 a.m. Saturday in cardiac arrest and died at an area hospital, sources told CNN.
Epstein was convicted of two sex crimes in 2008, including solicitation of a person under the age of 18. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison. The district attorney in the case, Alex Acosta, has been accused by the Miami Herald of giving Epstein a light sentence.
Acosta resigned as President Donald Trump's Secretary of Labor earlier this year after Epstein was charged with sex trafficking crimes.
Epstein's death comes a day after thousands of documents were unsealed in against Ghislaine Maxwell, a friend of Epstein that allegedly procured young girls for Epstein to traffic. The accuser, Virginia Giuffre, claims she was forced to have sex with Epstein and international high-profile figures, including Prince Andrew, while she was underage.
In late July, Epstein was found injured in his jail cell with marks on his neck. He was placed on suicide watch following the incident.

Arkancide I believe is the proper name...
Perhaps he was spirited away to GITMO in the dark of night. It would take a lot less time and trouble to convince folks that he was Arkancided. Death by Suicide, in this particular scenario, would be the easiest excuse for his sudden absence.
