DOJ Releases Unseen Epstein Death Photos, Reports on Jail Lapses

The newly public files detail emergency treatment efforts and document guard failures that deepen scrutiny of Epstein’s custody.

Overview

  • Previously unreleased FBI and Metropolitan Correctional Center records include dozens of images of Jeffrey Epstein after he was found hanging in his cell in August 2019.
  • Photos show EMTs attempting resuscitation with electrode pads on his chest, a neck brace in place, oxygen administered, and an IV line attached.
  • Cell images document a strip of orange prison fabric affixed to the bed frame that the reports identify as the makeshift noose.
  • The materials note an almost complete fracture of Epstein’s thyroid cartilage, alongside graphic images of neck injuries.
  • The reports reconstruct his final hours, including a 20‑minute phone call the night before, a 6:33 a.m. body alarm, admissions that required 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. rounds were not done, and a 7:36 a.m. death pronouncement at Beekman Hospital.
