Fact-Check Results:
The official determination is that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide on August 10, 2019, while in federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. Multiple investigations, including by the Department of Justice and New York City’s medical examiner, concluded that his death was self-inflicted by hanging. However, the circumstances surrounding his death—such as lapses in prison protocol and guard negligence—have fueled persistent speculation and conspiracy theories.
You can verify this yourself by reviewing the DOJ’s public statements, the medical examiner’s final report, and the DOJ Inspector General’s 2023 report on the handling of high-profile detainees at MCC.
