Epstein's Alleged Suicide Note Released Amid Legal Proceedings
A note allegedly found by Jeffrey Epstein's former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, after Epstein's first suspected suicide attempt has been released to the public. The note, which had been sealed in a courthouse vault, was made public following a request by The New York Times and a ruling by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas. Tartaglione, a former police officer serving a life sentence for murder, claimed he found the note in a book after Epstein was discovered with a strip of bedsheet around his neck in their shared cell. The note, which has not been authenticated, contains statements about choosing the time to say goodbye and has sparked renewed interest in the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death.
