Noel and another prison guard who was on duty the night Epstein died have been accused of sleeping and browsing the internet on the job instead of monitoring him, as well as falsifying records to hide their alleged misconduct.

The accusations have only served to intensify questions around the cause of Epstein's death, which was declared a suicide by New York City's medical examiner.
