Epstein suicide note made public after nearly seven years PHOTO

A federal judge on Wednesday, May 6, unsealed a purported suicide note linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, nearly seven years after it was allegedly discovered following his first reported suicide attempt in jail, according to US media.

The undated and unsigned note was filed in court as part of the criminal case involving Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, who claimed he found the document after reviving Epstein during a July 2019 incident in a Manhattan jail.

The note reads in part: “They investigated me for month – found NOTHING!!!” and “It is a treat to be able to chose ones time to say goodbye.” It also states: “NO FUN – NOT WORTH IT!!”

The US Justice Department said it could not verify whether the note was authentic. In a filing to District Judge Kenneth Karas, the department said there appeared to be “a strong public interest in the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death,” but added that it had “no knowledge as to … the accuracy of the factual narrative described in the unsealing motion.”

The note’s existence was first reported by The New York Times, which said the document had been kept from public view for almost seven years.

Tartaglione told writer and influencer Jessica Reed Kraus last year that he performed CPR on Epstein after the failed suicide attempt.

“Jeffrey Epstein tried killing himself when he was in the cell with me. I woke up, I brought him back with CPR,” Tartaglione said, adding that Epstein later left the note inside one of his books.

Questions have persisted about the July 2019 incident. At the time, sources told CNN it was unclear whether Epstein’s neck injuries were self-inflicted or the result of an assault. Epstein initially accused Tartaglione of attacking him before later retracting the claim.

A report included in the newly released records said Epstein was found “lying in the fetal position on the floor with a homemade fashioned noose around his neck.”

Despite the incident, Epstein told a prison psychologist the following day: “I have no interest in killing myself.” He later added: “I am too vested in my case to fight it, I have a life and I want to go back to living my life.”
