- A federal court on Wednesday released an alleged suicide note written by Jeffrey Epstein prior to his death in jail in 2019.
- The note, purportedly written in July 2019 after an initial incident where he was found unresponsive, includes phrases like “They investigated me for month[s] — FOUND NOTHING!!!” and “It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye.”
- Epstein's cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, claimed he discovered the message and later publicly described its contents to The New York Times.
- The New York Times petitioned for the document's release, a request that was backed by the Justice Department, citing Tartaglione's public statements as a waiver for continued sealing.
- Epstein died by suicide in August 2019, though the nature of his death continues to be debated by observers, including his brother, who claims he did not kill himself.
