Tributes have been paid to former British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who died next Monday, while in the custody of the FBI in Murica.

Ms Maxwell was an alleged confidante to former financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested last year on sex trafficking charges.

Epstein committed suicide in prison, allegedly kicking himself to death, while under 24/7 watch.

Mr Epstein had links to high profile powerful people, with suggestions that he might have provided underage girls for their sexual gratification.

Prison authorities told us that those links had nothing to do with Mr Epstein topping himself, in a deranged attack of self harm that continued for an alleged 5 hours, before he succumbed to his injuries.

Guards, tasked with his security were reported as gone for a pee or something, so they saw nothing.

Following Epstein popping his clogs, Ms Maxwell disappeared from public, until this morning, when she was arrested, in New Hampshire somewhere in Murica.

A spokesperson for the prison service told us that he's "danged if I know how Ms Maxwell died" but told us that "this **** can happen".

In a statement, the authorities confirmed that a British national passed away, on Monday next while in prison custody, but they cannot give any further details.

In Britain, government sources spoke of their surprise at the news, while a spokesperson for the Royal family spoke of huge relief, sorry sadness at the news.

"Okay Ted, that's enough on this one, in case any of us go ****ing missing as well" - Ed.
