The death of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein inside a federal Manhattan jail in August 2019 remains one of the most contested forensic cases in recent American legal history, and new federal disclosures suggest it may never be fully resolved.
Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre (MCC) in lower Manhattan at 6:30 a.m. on 10 August 2019, and was pronounced dead at 7:36 a.m. at New York Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital.
