NYT: Court reportedly kept Epstein’s suicide note under lock and key

Tartaglione says he found the letter in a comic and gave it to his lawyers. He wanted to refute the accusation that he had attacked Epstein. After the first alleged suicide attempt, Epstein stated that he was not trying to kill himself but was attacked by Tartaglione. Epstein also told prison employees at the time that he was not at risk of suicide.

According to Tartaglione, a former police officer convicted of quadruple murder, the letter said, among other things: “What am I supposed to do, burst into tears? It’s time to say goodbye.”
