thought he had just wedged a belt between a closet door and the frame, but then i read something that said doorknob.
Of course you did.

Of course.
You wouldn't know anything, if indeed you do, if I wasn't constantly correcting you.
But , either way, my point still stands regarding the floor supporting some of hus weight. A point which you won't address, because you are a rabid crybaby who would rather be mad and wrong than learn something.
The point was that Jeffery Epstein supposedly hung himself by wrapping his paper bed sheet around his neck (anchored on his bunk bed), and then kneeling down caused the sheet to apply pressure to his neck sufficient to suffocate him to death.
The problem (and I'm trying my best not to insult you here) is once you've cut off the blood flow to the brain you pass out and your body goes limp thereby making asphyxiation and suffocation impossible, let alone breaking a neck bone.
Without the kneeling action applying tension on the sheet he could not hang himself.
Plus of course Epstein was not in that frame of mind anyway. His last phone call was to this lawyer who he was to see Sunday (killed on Saturday) and he was hopeful to have his case overturned due to double jeopardy on the State's part.
He saw light at the end of his legal tunnel. Why in the world would he kill himself?
Lots of powerful people wanted Epstein dead. Why is that so difficult to understand?
