Official records and forensic evidence established Jeffrey Epstein's death by suicide in August 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a conclusion reinforced by a June 2026 New York Times investigation drawing on jail writings, interviews, and newly released documents showing prior suicide attempts and institutional lapses. Subsequent 2026 file releases, including post-mortem photographs and a purported suicide note, have yielded no credible sightings, DNA matches, or official reversals supporting survival claims. Trader consensus at 97.1% for "No" reflects this sustained absence of verifiable confirmation over seven years. Late developments capable of shifting odds remain narrow, such as authenticated new evidence contradicting the autopsy or an improbable official acknowledgment of a faked death before the 2027 cutoff.
