In the US, a federal judge has released a suicide note, likely written by Jeffrey Epstein, which had been kept secret for years as part of his cellmate's criminal case, The New York Times reported, according to UNN.

"They investigated me for month — FOUND NOTHING!!!" the note begins, adding that the result was charges going back many years.
"It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye," the note continued.
"Watcha want me to do — Bust out cryin!!" the note reads.
"NO FUN," it concludes, with those words underlined. "NOT WORTH IT!!"
Epstein's cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, claimed he discovered the note in July 2019 after Mr. Epstein was found unconscious with a strip of cloth wrapped around his neck. Epstein survived that incident, but a few weeks later he was found dead at the age of 66 in the closed Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan.
The note was released Wednesday by Judge Kenneth M. Karas of the Federal District Court in White Plains, N.Y., who was presiding over the cellmate's case. The judge made the decision after The New York Times filed a motion in court last Thursday to unseal the document and published an article in which Tartaglione described the note and how it came into his possession.
The Times, as noted, has not confirmed the authenticity of the note, which was entered into the court record on Wednesday evening.
