Update: The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that Epstein died of an apparent suicide but now the case is now being investigated.

In a statement by Attorney General William Barr, he said he was "appalled" to learn of Epstein's death and said the Inspector General would open an investigation into the circumstances of his death.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also investigating the matter.

"Mr. Epstein's death raises serious questions that must be answered," he said. "In addition to the FBI's investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein's death."

The 66-year-old Epstein was found unresponsive inside his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City around 6:30 a.m. Life-saving measures were initiated immediately by responding staff. He was transported to the New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital and was dead on arrival, officials said.

The New York City medical examiner's office said that an autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death.

Epstein had been taken off suicide watch before he killed himself, a person familiar with the matter told the AP. Why this was done is likely to be the focus of pending investigations.

In spite of the fact that he was placed on suicide watch two weeks ago, it is suspected that he committed suicide. There were no cameras, no vital sign equipment and no guard monitoring him. He was previously found in his cell after with injuries to his neck that were deemed to be self-inflicted, so why was he able to kill himself?

You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to wonder what really happened.

The 66-year-old alleged pedophile and sex trafficker was found dead Saturday morning. An FDNY source told Fox News that he was transported out of the prison at 6:30 a.m. The initial call to the jail was cardiac arrest but there is no immediate confirmation as to how he died, however, multiple reports are calling it suicide.

I'm skeptical.

Epstein's attorney Martin Weinberg told Fox News that he could not "confirm the rumor" that his client had killed himself.

Epstein's death also comes a day after thousands of documents were unsealed Friday in connection with a defamation cause against his alleged recruiter that revealed dozens of high-profile names including former Maine Sen. George Mitchell, ex-New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

Epstein was arrested July 6 over the alleged sexual abuse of dozens of young girls in his Upper East Side townhouse and his waterfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida between 2002 and 2005. He has pleaded not guilty.

At the time of his arrest, prosecutors said they found a trove of pictures of nude and seminude young women and girls at his $77 million Manhattan mansion. They also say additional victims have come forward since the arrest.

There will be a lot more to follow and the fact that he was able to commit suicide or be killed in his cell will be investigated.
