Summary
Did Jeffrey Epstein leave a suicide note? His brother, Mark, says no. He doesn't believe the one page letter unsealed by a District Judge Kenneth Karas was written by Jeffrey. Theres only five sentences printed on a sheet of lined paper.
It's been seven years since the accused sex trafficking suspect was found hanging in his cell. A former cellmate says he found it in a book in their shared cell. Nicholas Tartaglione has said he discovered the note during the approximate two week time period they shared a cell in July 2019. During that time, Epstein reportedly tried to hang himself. He initially claimed that Tartaglione had assaulted him. Epstein later told staff that he had no memory of the incident.
Epstein died by suicide less than a month later.
