(CNN) Several photos believed to be of Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell taken after his death, and an image of a bedsheet that had been turned into a noose, were made public by CBS's "60 Minutes" on Sunday night.

The images show the chaotic state of Epstein's cell after he died in August at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

In one photo, a mattress sits on the floor and orange bedsheets are strewn around the room.

Another photo is a close-up of one of the bedsheets that had been tied into a noose. It's not known whether that noose was used in his suicide.

CBS reports the photos were taken by the Medical Examiner, but did not state how they obtained them, or how they confirmed the photos' authenticity.
