Three weeks before Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody in August 2019, a handwritten note was allegedly found in his Manhattan jail cell following a first suicide attempt — a note that spent years sealed in a courthouse vault before a federal judge ordered its release this week. Cryptic in tone and unverified in authorship, the note speaks of choosing when to say goodbye, of defiance, and of something no longer worth enduring. Its emergence does not close the questions surrounding Epstein's death, but it widens the aperture through which we are permitted to look.
