New records reveal Jeffrey Epstein's state of mind shortly before his death

Recently released Federal Bureau of Prisons records reveal what Jeffrey Epstein's last days of life were like and some of the events that occurred before he committed suicide.

It has been four years since the notorious sexual predator died behind bars. However, it is only now that thousands of prison documents have been made public that allow a reconstruction of Epstein's condition in the days before he was found unconscious in his cell.

The files include e-mails between prison officials, psychological evaluations of the child molester and other records that help put to rest conspiracy theories generated after Epstein's death.

Dejected and anxious

According to the Associated Press (AP) report, Jeffrey Epstein was very anxious and despondent during the last weeks of his life. The tycoon regularly complained about his life and suffered from various health problems such as hypertension, low back pain, constipation, sleep apnea and pre-diabetes.

Epstein was on suicide watch after he was found in his cell with a strip of his bedsheet around his neck four days after a judge denied him bail. Although he managed to survive that episode, prison officials noticed that the child molester was self-absorbed, and there were times when he would simply sit on the edge of the bed with his head against the wall.

Reports indicate that two weeks before he committed suicide, he sat in the corner of his cell with his hands over his ears, despairing at the sound of a toilet that would not stop running.

Despite this, the pedophile insisted that he would never take his own life because it was something he would not "do to himself," further claiming that it was against his Jewish religion.

Letter to another pedophile

Thanks to the published documents, it was also discovered that Epstein attempted to communicate with Larry Nassar, an infamous doctor who worked on the US women's gymnastics team and was convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of athletes.

The letter was returned to the prison weeks after Epstein's death and was not included among the disclosed files, but rather its existence was referenced in the documents.

Last call

According to records, hours before ending his life, Epstein managed to make a phone call. The pedophile deceived the guards by telling them he wanted to talk on the phone with his mother (who had been dead for several years).

Reports indicate that Epstein actually called his girlfriend of 30 years and spoke for about 15 minutes with her.
