    Occam’s Razor says that explanation with fewest assumptions is likely the right one.

    Yeah, the Occam’s razor answer definitely isn’t that someone reused an existing document from the day before and forgot to change the date. That’s just unbelievable. It’s more likely that this was a premeditated murder and someone filed the paperwork a day early on accident.

      Yeah:

      • someone reused an existing document and put wrong date
      • the camera observing his cell failed
      • the redundant camera observing his cell also failed
      • the remaining cameras that could capture something apparently turn off for 3 minutes every day (that’s apparently normal for security cameras)
      • they accidentally removed him from suicide watch
      • he managed to kill himself despite cells being designated to prevent that
      • he was missing a cell buddy just for that night
      • three fractures on his neck which are unusual to hanging

      Each of them could be explained somehow through assumptions, but there are quite a lot of assumptions, don’t you think?

      I would imagine that in 21 century, FBI would have system to enter such notices and it would populate it with current date, because why would you want to modify date if you aren’t doing anything shady?
