Summary

This document is an email chain between officials at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), and the U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) on the morning of August 10, 2019, detailing the timeline of notifications regarding Jeffrey Epstein's death. The chain begins with a 7:52 AM notification of an 'apparent suicide attempt' and ambulance transfer, followed by an 8:18 AM confirmation that he had 'passed.' A significant portion involves a USAO official expressing extreme frustration at 10:43 AM that defense counsel and the press had more information than the government attorneys, specifically requesting basic facts like time and cause of death.

As you might imagine, we are getting increasingly frantic calls from defense counsel who continue to be seeing information in the press that we—the U.S. Attorney's Office—haven't yet received. We need to know as soon as possible the very basic facts, such as time and cause of death at the absolute minimum. It has now been hours since this was reported publicly. Please advise when we can expect to receive either a written report on those basic facts or when we can have a call to get that information to relay to his counsel. It is extraordinarily frustrating to have to tell them that we have less information than the press. Please advise.
Thank you,

FYI:
The BOP just informed us that Epstein is being taken by ambulance to the hospital from another apparent suicide attempt- no other information was provided.
They will update us as more info becomes available.
