A suicide note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein before his 2019 death has remained sealed in a New York courthouse for nearly seven years. The note, reportedly found by Epstein's former cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione inside a graphic novel, includes the phrase "time to say goodbye." Tartaglione gave the note to his lawyers, fearing accusations against him. Despite requests, the note has not been examined by investigators or the Justice Department and remains confidential, fueling ongoing speculation about Epstein's death.
