‘Time to say goodbye,’ Epstein allegedly wrote in newly released purported suicide note

What the Document Shows — and What It Doesn’t

While the phrase “Time to say goodbye” has attracted significant attention online, officials have not released a full, authenticated copy of the alleged note in a verified public format. As a result, experts caution that interpretations remain limited without complete context, including:

• When the note was written
• Whether it was intended as a personal message, diary entry, or final statement
• How it was preserved or recovered
• Confirmation of authorship through forensic analysis

Legal analysts note that partial or decontextualized excerpts can easily lead to misinterpretation, particularly in high-profile cases.
