Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Says Disgraced Financier’s Last Note Was a ‘Forgery’: ‘I Don’t Buy That’ (Exclusive)

Jeffrey Epstein‘s brother, Mark Epstein, isn’t backing down from his belief that the convicted sex offender did not die by suicide.

In an exclusive interview with National Enquirer, Mark claims an upcoming “peer review” of the autopsy will “conclusively” show Jeffrey “could not have committed suicide.”

The interview comes days after a federal judge unsealed a suicide note linked to Jeffrey that allegedly surfaced after a 2019 jail incident involving his former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione.

“It’s bulls**t and let me explain why,” Mark says about the note. “In the July incident, Jeffrey’s cellmate attacked him, he reported it as such, he told his lawyer as such, and then he recanted that story saying he couldn’t remember what happened because he was fearful of retaliation.”

Mark says that this was the reason Jeffrey “was taken off suicide watch so quickly, because they knew it wasn’t a suicide attempt.” He adds, “Since it wasn’t a suicide attempt there is no f**king reason for a suicide note.”

On August 10, 2019, Jeffrey was discovered unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. He was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead and his death was eventually ruled as a suicide by hanging. However, even with the resurfacing of the note, Mark isn’t convinced.

Instead, he believes the suicide note was “a forgery” and he doesn’t think “Jeffrey wrote it.”

“I’ve known Jeff all my life. If he was going to kill himself, if he was going to write a suicide note, he would’ve written it ‘to somebody,’ not just a blanket statement saying goodbye,” he continues. “I don’t buy that.”

Plus, Mark claims that there were “other bruises” on the disgraced financier’s body that the New York City’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner ignored. He alleges that these marks prove “conclusively that it could not have been a suicide.”

When asked about who conducted the upcoming “peer review,” Mark tells National Enquirer that it was done by “a very respected group of forensic pathologists.” However, he declined to identify them by name.

“I don’t want them to be harassed. And their report is their work, and they are not doing it on my behalf,” he explains. “I’m not paying for this. They contacted me and I just provided them with all the autopsy information and photographs.”

Regardless, Mark stands firm in the belief that his brother’s death wasn’t a suicide: “Anybody who still thinks it’s a suicide after the report comes out; they should be declared brain dead.”
