​Chapter 3 of the Office of the Inspector General's (OIG) report on Jeffrey Epstein's death provides a detailed timeline of events leading up to his suicide on August 10, 2019, at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York. The chapter highlights several critical lapses in protocol and staff performance. Notably, it details how Epstein's cellmate was transferred out on August 9, leaving him alone despite a standing requirement for him to have a cellmate due to his recent suicide attempt. Additionally, the report reveals that correctional officers failed to perform mandatory 30-minute checks on Epstein during the overnight hours, with some officers reportedly sleeping during their shifts and falsifying records to cover up their negligence.

The OIG report further examines the condition of Epstein's cell and the circumstances of his death. It notes that surveillance cameras outside Epstein's cell malfunctioned on the night of his death, resulting in a lack of video evidence to clarify the events leading up to his suicide. The report also discusses the findings of the autopsy, which concluded that Epstein's injuries were consistent with suicide by hanging, with no signs of defensive wounds or struggle. These findings underscore the systemic failures at MCC, including inadequate staffing, poor management oversight, and failure to adhere to established protocols, all of which contributed to the environment that allowed Epstein's suicide to occur.
