A body that was recovered inside an apartment in Connecticut earlier this week has been identified as Steven Hoffenberg, a businessman who served for many years as a mentor for Jeffrey Epstein, medical examiners confirmed on Friday. He was 77.
Hoffenberg’s body was found after the Derby Police Department (DPD) received a request at approximately 8 p.m. on Aug. 23 to conduct a welfare check at the location, police said in a statement.
Upon arrival, police found the body “in a state where a visual identification could not be made” and officials had to identify him through dental records.
