This document is an internal email thread from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) dated August 10, 2019, reacting to the news of Jeffrey Epstein's death. The chain begins with U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman informing colleagues at 8:24 AM that he received a call stating Epstein committed suicide and died on the way to the hospital.
