A federal statement announcing Jeffrey's Epstein's death in prison was dated the day before he was found dead hanging in his cell.
The document released by the US Department of Justice in the latest set of the Epstein Files describes Epstein being found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, where he was declared dead.
However it is dated Friday, August 9, 2019, while prison records and official document show it was not until August 10, 2019, that a corrections officer delivering breakfast found Epstein unresponsive in his cell.
The anomaly may fuel speculation about Epstein's death, which occurred amid a catalogue of prison failures, Mail Online reports.
Guards tasked with monitoring Epstein did not carry out routine checks through the night, with two scheduled rounds at 3am and 5am missed, according to an inquiry which also found two cameras placed outside Epstein’s cell had "malfunctioned" - leaving gaps in the monitoring of the area.
After Epstein was found at 6.30am, medical personnel tried to revive him, but he was soon declared deceased although no time of death was ever established.
Epstein’s death was later ruled a suicide by hanging by the The New York City medical examiner.
The federal statement of August 9, from Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman, states: "Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Centre confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
"Today's events are disturbing, and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving Epstein's many victims their day in Court.
"To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment."
The Evening Standard has contacted the Department of Justice for comment.
Epstein’s death occurred before he was due to give evidence at his trial charged with counts of sex trafficking minors and conspiracy, which had already gained mass attention.
Do not hate A.I. Learn to use it! I still manually scour webpages for information I need. I achieve this by turning off all A.I features (I use duckduckgo BTW, not sure big Google will let you turn off its AI) so I get my webpages brought to me like a normal internet user.
