Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein is believed to have killed himself in a New York prison cell, according to reports.
His body was found on Saturday at 7.30am local time (11.30am GMT) at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, in Manhattan.
Epstein, 66, had been accused of sex trafficking underage girls in the early 2000s and was arrested on July 6.
He had pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and conspiracy charges and was being held without bail but a judge said he wouldn’t face trial before June 2020.
The businessman had been accused of arranging to have sex with girls as young as age 14 at his residences in Manhattan and Florida.
News of his death comes a day after unsealed US documents revealed the extent of his alleged abuse on young teenagers at his Palm Beach, New York and the Virgin Islands homes.
