"Epstein didn't kill himself" is a phrase referring to multiple theories surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein that dispute the official but contentious ruling of suicide by hanging. Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender with connections to powerful and wealthy people such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, and his reported "suicide" led to numerous hypotheses about the nature and cause of his death. The phrase became a now very famous and widely accepted colloquialism as well as an internet meme, gaining traction in November 2019 as more of the circumstances around his death became public. The most common theory asserts that the true cause of his death was homicide, via strangulation, arranged by one or more co-conspirators to silence him. As a result, some people have used the verb "epstein" to refer to the scenario of powerful criminals arranging for people with compromising information to be murdered while having officials rule their deaths as suicides.
