Jeffrey Epstein's brother claims released suicide note is a 'forgery': report [View all]

Source: The Independent

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother believes his brother’s purported suicide note, released this week in court, is fake.

Mark Epstein, speaking with The National Enquirer, called the document a “forgery.” “I’ve known Jeff all my life. If he was going to kill himself, if he was going to write a suicide note, he would’ve written it ‘to somebody,’ not just a blanket statement saying goodbye,” Epstein said. “I don’t buy that.”

Jeffrey Epstein’s former cellmate claims to have discovered the document in July 2019, after Epstein was found unresponsive but alive in his cell. Epstein died by suicide the following month.

“It’s bulls**t and let me explain why,” Epstein’s brother added in the National Enquirer interview. “In the July incident, Jeffrey’s cellmate attacked him, he reported it as such, he told his lawyer as such, and then he recanted that story saying he couldn’t remember what happened because he was fearful of retaliation.”
