NEW YORK CITY — The alleged Epstein suicide note released by a judge has drawn renewed attention to the final weeks of Jeffrey Epstein’s life inside a New York jail. The brief handwritten note, which has not been verified, was made public after an application by The New York Times.
The document is said to have been written by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after a failed suicide attempt in July 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York. Less than two weeks later, Epstein died by suicide in the same facility at the age of 66.
What has been released
The document now in the public domain is described as an alleged suicide note reportedly written by Epstein. Its release followed a judicial decision, with the note becoming public only after a court application was made.
Crucially, the note has not been verified. That means while it is being reported as linked to Epstein, its authenticity has not been formally confirmed in the material made public.
How the note was found
The note was reportedly discovered by a former cellmate after Epstein was found in his cell following a failed suicide attempt in July 2019. That incident occurred while he was being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre, a now-closed federal jail in Manhattan.
The circumstances surrounding Epstein’s custody and death have remained the subject of intense public and legal scrutiny for years. The emergence of this note adds another document to the record connected to that period.
For broader background on the facility itself, the US Federal Bureau of Prisons has previously published information on the Metropolitan Correctional Centre.
What the note says
The note is short, but some of its wording has attracted immediate attention. One line reportedly reads:
They investigated me for months, found nothing.
It is also reported to end with the words:
No fun. Not worth it.
Those phrases have been widely highlighted because they appear to reflect Epstein’s state of mind after the earlier incident in custody. Even so, the note’s unverified status remains an important qualification.
The timeline around Epstein’s death
The timeline is central to understanding why the note has prompted fresh interest. Epstein was found in his cell after a failed suicide attempt in July 2019.
Less than two weeks later, he killed himself inside the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York. He was 66 years old.
His death came while he was facing serious criminal allegations and extraordinary global media attention. The release of any document tied to those final days is therefore likely to be examined closely by courts, journalists, and the public alike.
Why the release matters
The significance of the note lies not only in its contents, but in the fact that it was sealed from public view until a judge authorised its release. Court-ordered disclosure often becomes important in high-profile cases, especially where documents may help explain events that remain contested or widely discussed.
In this instance, the note does not resolve the broader questions that have surrounded Epstein’s detention and death. What it does provide is a small but notable piece of written material reportedly connected to his failed suicide attempt in July 2019.
For readers seeking court and legal context around federal proceedings in New York, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York offers general information about the court system involved in major cases from the city.

What remains unclear
