Ex-cellmate says he found suicide note from Jeffrey Epstein

A suicide note purportedly written by the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is locked inside the case file of his former cellmate, convicted quadruple murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, who told The New York Times it was written on paper from a yellow legal pad and tucked inside a book.

According to the Times, Tartaglione found the note in July 2019, after Epstein unsuccessfully tried to kill himself -- about two weeks before Epstein died by suicide in his lower Manhattan jail cell.

Epstein was found in his cell on July 23, 2019, "with a homemade noose fashioned around his neck," according to a Bureau of Prisons incident report.

Epstein was "lying in the fetal position on the floor of his cell wearing a t-shirt and boxers. He was breathing heavily and was snoring. ... His neck was red with no abrasions," the report said. Epstein was "determined to have sustained a circular line of erythema at the base of the neck and friction marks on the front of neck."
