thebalanced.newsJeffrey Epstein's Alleged Suicide Note Remains Sealed Amid Ongoing Speculation
A handwritten note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein before his 2019 death remains sealed in a New York courthouse nearly seven years later. The note, reportedly found by Epstein's cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione, includes phrases like "time to say goodbye," but its full contents have not been disclosed. Tartaglione, a convicted former police officer, has publicly referenced the note, though US authorities have not formally verified its existence. The note was sealed as part of Tartaglione's legal case, and its details remain undisclosed amid ongoing public interest and conspiracy claims.
