NYC Medical Examiner Report - Epstein Death Ruling (2019)

The New York City Medical Examiner ruled Jeffrey Epstein's death a suicide by hanging on August 10, 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Two surveillance cameras outside his cell malfunctioned that night. Guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas admitted to falsifying logs showing they conducted required checks while actually sleeping. Epstein had been removed from suicide watch on July 29 despite an incident on July 23. His cellmate had been transferred out the day before, leaving him alone.
