After having been under seal for nearly seven years, Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide note was made public on Wednesday, but on Friday, Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, claimed the note was nonsense and alleged it to be a “forgery.”

“I’ve known Jeff all my life. If he was going to kill himself, if he was going to write a suicide note, he would’ve written it ‘to somebody,’ not just a blanket statement saying goodbye,” Mark Epstein told the National Enquirer in the outlet’s report Friday. “I don’t buy that.”

In late July, just over two weeks before his death, Epstein was found semi-conscious in his cell with “marks on his neck,” according to NBC 4. Epstein would later accuse Tartaglione of having attacked him, though would later retract his accusation. It was that incident, Mark Epstein said, that led him to dispute the note’s authenticity.

“In the July incident, Jeffrey’s cellmate attacked him, he reported it as such, he told his lawyer as such, and then he recanted that story saying he couldn’t remember what happened because he was fearful of retaliation," he said.
