I don't know, but even if he did, his death is still on the hands of those who put him there, as they were paid to put him there specifically to prevent him from doing something like this.

I mean… probably. He was in a high-security prison with lots of surveillance. Was he intimidated into doing so? Who knows. It’s pretty dumb that he was on a 24/7 suicide watch and people got lax about it.
Crazy that the guards weren’t around and no cameras.
No, it’s not that crazy. Prisons are run extremely poorly and, unless you’re a high profile criminal, no one cares about you.
The cameras have probably been broken for months, the guards are probably never around because they are short staffed all the time.
Go talk to a criminal attorney. “Client died in prison, no one knows exactly what happened” is unfortunately not a rare circumstance.
He was a very high profile criminal.
Absolutely not.
Most likely… but does it really matter that much? People have been named already, there’s no prosecution or investigations besides Maxwell. I don’t have enough faith to say it would be much different if he were alive.
Yes, but he was cohearsed and provided opportunity and means.
Would he not have done it, they would have had it done for him.
He knew too many names, details.
Happens too often, imo.
Nothing comes of the lists or info gotten.
I think it was neglect on purpose.
Happens a lot in jails. Gangs magically end up in the same block and much more sketchy stuff.
I believe so, but its very likely he was given the opportunity to do so given how he, a high profile criminal, got a very clear window of free time to do so
The Queen is not a vampire and she did not feed on this man to protect Edward.
Shady evil business he was. Powerful people he could have burned.
Very doubtful he didn't.
