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. Subsequent emails discuss media strategy, whether to confirm the death to the press or wait for the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) or U.S. Marshals (USMS) to issue a statement, and share links to news reports from the NY Post and NY Times.
