Jeffrey Epstein's death: Suicide or murder?
Fox News
After disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019, accounts differed as to whether his cellmate had tried to kill Epstein or prevent him from committing suicide, according to a forthcoming book.
Nicholas Tartaglione, a hulking ex-cop facing the death penalty on federal murder and drug charges, was Epstein’s cellmate. Tartaglione, 51, reportedly would not cooperate with authorities after Epstein’s death. His lawyer said Tartaglione was friendly with Epstein and denied that he had anything to do with his death. He theorized that his client was being set up because Tartaglione has filed complaints about the prison’s alleged inhumane conditions. The details are relayed in an excerpt from the upcoming book "Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story," written by Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown.More Related News
