A U.S. federal judge on Wednesday released a document described as a suicide note purportedly written ?by the late Jeffrey Epstein and including the line: ¡°It is a treat to be able to choose one¡¯s time to say goodbye.¡±
Epstein, the disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 in what was ruled a suicide.
The handwritten note was said to have ?been found by his former jail cellmate, convicted murderer and ex-police officer Nicholas Tartaglione. U.S. District ?Judge Kenneth ?Karas, who oversaw the Tartaglione case, released the note after a request by ?The New York Times, which reported its existence last week.
