This document is an email chain from August 19, 2019, between a Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal and legal staff (likely SDNY). The Marshal requests subpoenas for Jeffrey Epstein's death certificate and autopsy report to 'close out' his case. The respondent clarifies that their current grand jury subpoenas are for the sex trafficking investigation and suggests that requests related to the death investigation should be directed to a specific, separate team within the office.

"If not, and if this is in connection with an investigation into his death, I think you would need to have a subpoena issued in connection with the team that is working on that investigation in our office"Source
