Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide note has spent nearly seven years locked inside a New York courthouse, hidden from public view. The New York Times revealed that the note, reportedly found by Epstein’s cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione in July 2019, was sealed by a federal judge as part of Tartaglione’s own criminal case.
The suicide note’s existence only surfaced publicly last year when Tartaglione mentioned it on a podcast. According to him, the message read, in part, “What do you want me to do, bust out crying? Time to say goodbye.” If authentic, the note could reshape the murky narrative around Epstein’s death, which was officially ruled a suicide.
