Previously unseen photos showing Jeffrey Epstein's body lying on a stretcher and being cared for by doctors shortly after his death have been released by the US government.
Twenty images, many of which are too graphic to display, were released as part of a declassified FBI report into Epstein's death in custody, as well as a postmortem examination and internal prison documents.
They are among millions of documents released Friday by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) in the latest release of the Epstein files.
Epstein was found dead in his prison cell on August 10, 2019. He had been held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy before trial.
The newly released FBI report, titled "Investigation into the Death of Jeffrey Epstein," appears to be an investigation into his death from the agency's New York office. The 23-page report has an "unclassified" note stamped on each page.
They also contain details of Epstein's post-mortem examination and a psychological report on his mental health in the days before he killed himself.
Some of the photos show Epstein lying on a stretcher as doctors try to revive him. They are dated August 10, 2019, with a timestamp of 6:49 a.m. local time, about 16 minutes after he was found unconscious in his cell. The location of the photos is not clear, but Epstein was transported to a nearby hospital at 6:39 a.m. where he was pronounced dead, suggesting they were taken there.
Three other photos have notes indicating they were taken in a hospital. They show a close-up of his head and an apparent injury to his neck. Epstein's name is in each photo, but his name is misspelled as "Jeffery" instead of Jeffrey in some of the images.
Portions of Epstein's post-mortem report from OCME also appear in the report, including scans of two fractures in Epstein's thyroid cartilage in his neck.
The FBI report includes a six-page timeline of Epstein's detention at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center from his arrest on federal sex trafficking charges on July 6, 2019, to his death. It reveals that Epstein was placed on suicide watch after attempting to kill himself on July 23, 2019. Epstein accused his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer facing murder charges, of trying to kill him at the time.
In a meeting with a psychologist the next day, Epstein said he had "no interest in killing himself" and that "it would be crazy" to take his own life, the document states. On July 25, he stated that he was "very confident in his case, to fight it, I have a life and I want to get back to living my life," according to the psychologist's report.
Other documents released by the Justice Department show that the prison warden had advised that Epstein not be left alone and had emphasized the need for "30-minute checks" of his cell and "unannounced visits."
Epstein's cellmate was released the day before his death. On the night of Aug. 9, prison guards also missed scheduled 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. checks, prison documents show, and the unit's camera system was also out of order. His body was discovered during a morning check by staff.
A second, redacted version of the same FBI report, which is only 17 pages long, has also been released as part of the Epstein files. It does not include the psychologist's report or the timeline of his detention, and the images in the file have been redacted. It is not clear why both the redacted and unredacted versions of the report are included in the file./ Pamphlet
