In the early hours of August 10, 2019, an anonymous user on the 4chan message board (specifically the /pol/ board) posted that Epstein had died by hanging and cardiac arrest—writing, “Don’t ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago…” The post appeared at 8:16 a.m. ET, approximately 38–40 minutes before ABC News correspondent Aaron Katersky tweeted the news at around 8:54 a.m. ET, followed by an ABC story at about 9:00 a.m. This unusual timing sparked intrigue, as it suggested someone may have had unusually early—or insider—knowledge of the event.
Despite speculation, the New York Fire Department confirmed that the information did not come from any FDNY personnel or official source. No verification of the poster’s identity surfaced, and the claim remains unsubstantiated—with media and investigators treating it as an unverified tip rather than a credible leak. The episode nonetheless highlighted the rapid power of anonymous online platforms to circulate high-profile news before traditional media catches up, fuelling conspiracy theories and public unease.
