Jean-Luc Brunel was believed to have hanged himself to death on Saturday morning. Prison wardens failed to resuscitate him after finding his corpse during a night patrol.
He had been held on charges of raping minors whom he procured on Epstein's and convicted British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell's behalf.
Despite conjecture that he hung himself to death, the police have launched a probe into the cause of his demise.
His death is much to his victim's chagrin as he allegedly sexually harassed and raped minors, most of whom over 15 years old. Among them: Dutch model Thysia Huisman, who was 18 when she first met Brunel. She expressed her shock, disappointment and outrage on twitter, wary of his suicide.
