Washington (USA), 30 April (LaPresse) – A suicide note, believed to have been written by Jeffrey Epstein before he took his own life in a Manhattan prison, has remained secret for almost seven years, kept under lock and key in a New York court. The New York Times reports this, stating that a cellmate of the former financier claimed to have found the note in July 2019, after Epstein had been found unconscious with a strip of cloth around his neck. Epstein survived that incident, but a few weeks later he was found dead inside the prison. The note, the newspaper reports, was ultimately sealed by a federal judge as part of criminal proceedings against the cellmate himself, according to documents and interviews. This means that investigators, who were examining Epstein’s death, did not have access to what could have proved to be a key piece of evidence. The New York Times has filed a motion with the judge to have the note unsealed.
