JEFFREY Epstein's life may be in danger as his powerful pals do not want him to reveal their secrets, his victims' lawyer has claimed.

Spencer Kuvin, who represents three of the billionaire perv's sex trafficking accusers, threw doubt on claims the financier attempted suicide.

Epstein was found "sprawled on the floor" and "blue in the face" in a New York jail, last Tuesday according to reports.

Investigators are still probing whether it was a suicide attempt or if the shamed 66-year-old was attacked.

Now Kuvin believes Epstein knows so much dirt about his rich and famous friends that there may be some individuals willing to organise a "hit" on him to prevent that information ever getting out.

"I question whether or not it was a true suicide attempt that Mr Epstein was involved in in jail or whether or not there may be some powerful people who just don't want him to talk," Kuvin told Sun Online.
