From the Daily Mail: "Statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein's death emerges from files... but it's dated a day before he killed himself." From the lede:
A federal statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein's death has surfaced in newly released Justice Department files but it carries a date that appears to precede the moment he was officially found dead inside his New York prison cell.
The document, issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and dated Friday, August 9, 2019, states that Epstein had already been found unresponsive and pronounced dead.
But prison records and official accounts show Epstein was not discovered unresponsive until the morning of August 10, 2019, when a corrections officer delivering breakfast found him in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.
Could this have been a typo? Sure. There are a couple ways this is a typo. First, someone started drafting the document on Aug. 9 and forgot to update the date field before sending it on Aug. 10. Second, someone pulled up an old document to avoid having to fill out headings or addresses, deleted whatever was in the original body of the document, drafted a new body to the document discussing Epstein, but forgot to update the date field.
