This document is a highly significant email thread from August 10, 2019, chronicling the immediate aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death. The correspondence involves the US Marshals Service (USMS), the US Attorney's Office (USAO), and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP)/MCC New York. The thread reveals significant confusion and frustration within the USAO, as officials complain that the BOP issued press releases about Epstein's death before providing basic facts to the prosecutors, leaving them unable to inform Epstein's defense counsel or family. The timeline moves from an initial report of an 'apparent suicide attempt' at 7:52 AM to confirmation that he 'passed away' by 8:46 AM.
