Epstein death ruled ‘suicide by hanging’

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

The death of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has been ruled “suicide by hanging” by the New York medical examiner.

Epstein was found dead in his prison cell a week ago, where he had been facing trial for sex-trafficking offences.

We also speak to Lisa Bloom, a lawyer for two other women who allege they were abused by Mr Epstein and have now filed a civil case against his estate.
