Evidence Points to Suicide in Epstein Death: New York Times

The report cites notes, inmate accounts and jail records that point to suicide, including multiple nooses and a prior hanging attempt.

  • A new report by The New York Times, released Tuesday, reveals previously unseen notes from Jeffrey Epstein showing he planned his suicide while awaiting federal sex-trafficking charges.
  • In the weeks before his death, Epstein repeatedly discussed suicide with cellmates; former cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione claimed Epstein asked, "How do you make a noose?" while Efrain Reyes warned him against ending his life.
  • Scrawled notes from July 22, 2019, reveal Epstein compared his situation to the 19th-century persecution of Alfred Dreyfus, labeled himself a victim of the #MeToo movement, and wrote "J'ACCUSE" atop the page.
  • On August 10, 2019, Epstein was found dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City, where investigators discovered "multiple nooses" in his cell, reinforcing the official suicide ruling.
  • The Times report, based on interviews with over 40 inmates and officials, documents systemic jail staff failures to monitor Epstein, addressing long-standing questions about the facility's oversight and the controversial death.
