This document is a draft DOJ OIG report from March 2023 detailing the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's death in BOP custody. It describes the failure of correctional officers Michael Thomas and Tova Noel to conduct mandatory rounds and counts in the SHU on the night of August 9-10, 2019, noting they falsified records and slept on duty. The report confirms the medical examiner's finding of suicide by hanging and states there was no evidence of homicide or other individuals entering the tier during the relevant timeframe.
