A federal judge released a suicide note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein after years of the document remaining under seal as part of his cellmate’s criminal case.
Epstein’s cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, claims he found the note after the sex trafficker’s July 2019 suicide attempt. Epstein survived that attempt after being found unresponsive with a cloth wrapped around his neck. He died weeks later by suicide, officials say.
“They investigated me for months — FOUND NOTHING!!!” the note reads. “So 16 year old charges resulted. It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye.”
“Watcha want me to do — Bust out cryin!!” the note continues. “NO FUN– NOT WORTH IT!!”
The words “NO FUN” are underlined.
The note has not been authenticated.

Tartaglione said he found the note inside a graphic novel after Epstein was removed from the cell due to his suicide attempt.
“I opened the book to read and there it was,” Mr. Tartaglione said, further claiming the note was written on a legal pad.
The note was made public on Wednesday by Judge Kenneth M. Karas of the Southern District of New York after The New York Times petitioned the court to unseal the note.
