The Department of Justice's release of a video purporting to show Jeffrey Epstein's suicide has ignited confusion and outrage online, only for it to be quickly debunked as fake. The so-called 'suicide video' circulated widely across social media on Monday, sparking speculation and intense debate about the circumstances of Epstein's death in his Manhattan jail cell.
Within hours, fact-checkers and experts confirmed the footage was a recreated simulation, not an authentic recording. The brief chaos it caused highlights the fragility of trust in government documents and has only fuelled further conspiracy theories surrounding the case.
