A federal judge in New York has released a document described as a suicide note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein, ending years of court sealing surrounding the material. The handwritten note, made public on Wednesday by US District Judge Kenneth M. Karas, includes the line: 'It is a treat to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye.'
The document emerged from legal proceedings connected to Epstein's former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer currently serving four life sentences for a quadruple murder conviction. Tartaglione previously claimed he discovered the note in July 2019 after Epstein was found unresponsive in their shared cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan following an apparent suicide attempt.
