Hugo Santillan passed away from a brain clot at the tender age of 23, just days after Maxim Dadashev, who passed away at the tender age of 28.

"Who?" you ask?

Both men were boxers, Santillan dying just five days after a split-decision in a super featherweight bout in Argentina where he passed out during the announcement. He never woke up from his coma

Dadashev passed from traumatic head injuries and brain swelling sustained in an IBF junior welterweight match that his trainer actually stopped, conceding the match.

Here are both men's obituaries: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/boxer-...ys-after-maxim-dadashevs-death-155313294.html https://sports.yahoo.com/russian-boxer-maxim-dadashev-dies-days-after-fight-161659637.html

Listening to Dadashev's trainer pleading with the young man to let him stop the fight is heartbreaking imho.

Jeffrey Epstein, has taken his own life. He was 66....

I heard that he might've committed suicide, but that's just from one source.

How he wasn’t kept under intensive 24/7 observation is beyond me. If there was ever someone accused of a crime who wouldn’t want to be around to have a court case spell out the details, it would be him.

From what I understand, he was taken off "suicide watch" not long before he hung himself. That's the time that a suicidal person (usually) succeeds in killing themselves.
