Assessment: LOW SUSPICION — LIKELY COINCIDENTAL
Reyes died from COVID-19 during a global pandemic that killed millions. While his status as Epstein's last cellmate and the timing of his death (weeks after talking to federal investigators) has drawn attention, COVID-19 deaths were extremely common in late 2020, particularly in prison populations.
Circumstances of Death
Efrain "Stone" Reyes died in November 2020 from COVID-19. He was 51 years old.
Background
Reyes was Jeffrey Epstein's final cellmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. He was transferred out of Epstein's cell one day before Epstein was found dead on August 10, 2019. After Epstein's death, Reyes was interviewed by federal investigators probing the circumstances.
Why This Death Possibly Raises Questions
- Reyes was the last person to share a cell with Epstein before Epstein's death.
- He was transferred out of Epstein's cell just one day before Epstein was found dead, which some view as suspicious timing.
- He died only weeks after talking with federal investigators who were probing Epstein's death.
- As Epstein's cellmate, he may have had direct knowledge of Epstein's state of mind, any visitors, or any events in the hours and days before Epstein's death.
- His death from COVID-19, however, occurred during a global pandemic that killed millions.
