A Bureau of Prisons psychological assessment released Tuesday by the DOJ showed Epstein was considered to be at "low" acute suicide risk and showed no signs of suicidal ideation just days before his death, according to internal prison records.
The suicide risk assessment, conducted on July 9, 2019, states Epstein was placed on precautionary psychological observation due to the high-profile nature of his case and not because he expressed intent to self-harm.
"Inmate Epstein adamantly denied any suicidal ideation, intention or plan," the chief psychologist wrote in the assessment.
The psychologist noted Epstein appeared "polite, calm, and cooperative" during the evaluation, with "organized and coherent" thoughts and no signs of acute psychological distress. Additionally, the psychologist documented Epstein saying that "being alive is fun," describing himself as a banker with a "big business," and expressing confidence in his legal defense.
The report concluded that "the Overall Acute Suicide Risk for this Inmate is: Low," and, "A suicide watch is not warranted at this time."

Epstein's cellmate details what he saw during financier's first apparent suicide attempt
Newly shared Bureau of Prisons records shed fresh light on what Epstein’s cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, says he witnessed during the disgraced financier’s first apparent suicide attempt while in federal custody.
"I was asleep with headphones on when I felt something hit my legs," Tartaglione said, according to the memo.
"I turned on the light and saw Epstein on the floor with something around his neck," he told investigators, adding that Epstein appeared unresponsive.

The accuser said she believed the reference to influential figures was meant to intimidate her and discourage her from coming forward.
The statement does not allege that Clinton participated in or had knowledge of the alleged encounter. Clinton has previously denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
The latest documents also include a fake passport that Epstein apparently used in the 1980s. The passport appeared to be issued from Austria, with Epstein going by the name "Marius Robert Fortelni." It listed Saudi Arabia as his place of residence.

The same email notes Epstein claimed he did not receive all of his prescribed medications after being placed on psychological observation, and said he had not slept well in 21 days due to the absence of his CPAP machine. Epstein also complained about noise in the Special Housing Unit, warning he could suffer "psychological trauma" from the conditions.
