On July 23, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was found in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center with a noose around his neck. He was placed on suicide watch after being found unresponsive. Epstein claimed his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, attempted to kill him and extort money. Epstein did not report these threats to staff, believing they would not intervene due to his charges, and only informed his lawyer.
