Summary

This document is a chain of emails from August 10, 2019, documenting the immediate aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death. The correspondence highlights a communication breakdown where the U.S. Attorney's Office expresses significant frustration that the press and defense counsel were aware of Epstein's death before the BOP officially provided them with the details. The thread tracks the timeline from the initial report of an 'apparent suicide attempt' and ambulance transport to the confirmation that he had 'passed away'.

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.
