A claim is circulating on social media that recent documents about Jeffrey Epstein suggest he is not dead, but is still alive.
According to this theory, American authorities had "advance knowledge" of his death, creating the impression that everything was fabricated.
BBC has verified the documents and confirmed that these claims are untrue.
The date cited as “evidence” in the internal Justice Department document — August 9, 2019, the day before Epstein was found dead — is not an official document and proves nothing.
All official reports, including the autopsy and prison documents, confirm that Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10, 2019.
The US Department of Justice has clarified that the date in the draft was an administrative error and has no connection to any manipulation of his death.
BBC experts stress that the circulation of these conspiracy theories is the result of a misinterpretation of unofficial documents and there is no evidence to support claims that Epstein is alive. /Telegraph/
