Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime butler has said there is “no way” the pedophile financier killed himself in prison.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Epstien’s butler of 18 years, Valdson Vieira Cotrin, said that Epstein “loved life too much” and was confident of securing bail before his apparent suicide.
“I am like his brother, “ he explained. “I don’t believe this was suicide. He loved life too much.”
However, Cotrin also appeared to be in denial about Epstein’s litany of sexual crimes.
“I was his chauffeur, his cook, his housekeeper,” he continued. “I did everything in Paris, I was his only full-time, paid-up employee and worked for him from 2001 until his death.”
“If someone could have seen something, it’s Valdson, there’s no one else.”

Cotrin’s partner Maria Gomes de Melo, who also knew Epstein personally, shares her husband’s view that there was foul play at hand.
“On the Saturday late, we got the news that he had hanged himself, and honestly, he loved life too much to float away like that,” she said.
FBI Director Kash Patel recently insisted during an interview on Joe Rogan that he accepted the official report that Epstein had indeed commited suicide, although this detail remains highly disputed.
“We’ve reviewed all the information, and the American public is going to get as much as we can release,” Patel said at the time. “He killed himself,”
“I’m working my ass off along with the leadership at the Bureau and DOJ to get you what we’re allowed to give you.”
”And you’re gonna get the video of the cell, and you’re gonna see for yourself, and we will never be able to convince everyone.”

Epstein’s longtime partner and accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, has also repeatedly maintained her view that he did not take his own life.
“I believe that he was murdered,” he said during a 2023 interview from federal prison, where she is serving her sentence for her involvement in his child sex ring. “I was shocked.”
“Then I wondered how it had happened because as far as I was concerned, I was sure he was going to appeal. And I was sure he was covered under the non-prosecution agreement.”
