Not because of any conspiracy. Because they revived the old case, because the mean judge made him stay in jail etc

It's on FoxNew's web site, such as it is: https://www.foxnews.com/us/jeffrey-epstein-attorney-blood-on-their-hands-suicide

Jeffrey Epstein’s attorney blamed the media, the government and the courts for his client’s apparent suicide inside his Manhattan prison cell Saturday.

Marc Fernich, one of the multimillionaire’s attorneys, said in a personal statement to Fox News that he is “outraged” at Epstein’s death and that there is “plenty of blame to go around for this unthinkable tragedy.”

Fernich said that “overzealous prosecutors,” “pandering politicians,” “compliant judges” and a “hysterical press corps” were all to blame for Epstein’s death while he awaited trial for sex trafficking charges.

“Breathless reporters excavating every corner of Mr. Epstein’s life to pile on, tear him down and kick him at his lowest — while still presumed innocent, before he’d had his day in court,” he said. “All these actors appear to bear some responsibility for this calamity. All seem to have a share of Mr. Epstein’s blood on their hands. All should be ashamed of their behavior.”


Mr Epstein, of course, didn't seem ashamed by his behavior. At one point, he compared his crimes to 'stealing a bagel', IIRC
