Multiple outlets report new details from investigations into Jeffrey Epstein’s August 2019 death in custody. According to the accounts described, Epstein attempted to end his life multiple times while in jail before he died on 10 August 2019. The reports also say that investigators found several nooses in Epstein’s cell after his death, with claims that the area was left with these materials.
One account cited by outlets includes statements from a former cellmate who said he saw Epstein preparing to attempt suicide and alerted correctional staff. The reports allege that guards did not respond with the level of urgency the warnings warranted.
The descriptions focus on the days leading up to Epstein’s death and on purported failures in how staff handled warnings, as well as physical evidence reported to have been found in the cell. The cited information is presented as part of a newer investigation, and the reports characterize these details as shedding additional light on events surrounding his final days.
