A purported suicide note written by Jeffrey Epstein before his 2019 death in federal custody has been publicly released after years under seal, adding a dramatic new chapter to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the disgraced financier's death and the handling of his case.
The handwritten note was released by a federal judge in New York as part of court proceedings tied to Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein's former cellmate and a former police officer now serving life sentences for four murders. Tartaglione has long claimed he discovered the note hidden inside a graphic novel after Epstein's first apparent suicide attempt in July 2019.
