A federal judge has released a suicide note purported to have been written by Jeffrey Epstein prior to his death in 2019. 

The note was found in a Manhattan jail and has been sealed for seven years. The New York Times last week petitioned the judge to unseal the note. 

The note was discovered by his cellmate in 2019, after Epstein was found unresponsive after a suicide attempt, which he survived. The note, according to the New York Times, was sealed by a federal judge as part of the cellmate's criminal case.
