Efrain Reyes, 51, was found dead on Nov. 27 inside his mother’s apartment in New York City, police confirmed to the New York Daily News.
"[Epstein] liked to read a lot and he kept to himself. He wasn’t a problem starter or too loud. My uncle said he was a good cellmate," Reyes’ niece, Angelique Lopez, told the newspaper.
