Multimillionaire Jeff Epstein, a convict and notorious sex offender, was found blue in the skin and apparently near death after a prison suicide attempt. (link). He is facing federal charges of sex trafficking. Federally charged suspects in the Southern District of New York face a 97% conviction rate. The crimes with which he is charged carry sentences such that he is unlikely to see a day of freedom in his life.
Meanwhile, in much less tony parts of NYC, near the A subway line in Queens, a man attempted to jump to his death on the tracks. The package he left behind was suspicious but turned out to be harmless (link). The suspect was taken to Jamaica Hospital in Queens in critical condition.
What makes me wonder is why is any energy given to reviving him from a suicide attempt or attack?

So if someone is incarcerated awaiting a jury trial to determine guilt or innocence for an alleged crime it is acceptable to allow non judicial execution by neglect?

NO....the more appropriate question is, "Why is the state treating people like they are already guilty, when they havent even been to trial yet for their ALLEGED crime?

Exactly - remand prisoners have not been found guilty of anything.
Whilst in most countries there is a positive duty to protect life and a duty to investigate suspicious deaths, and this includes in relation to prisoners and in relation to the mentally ill.
