Experts: Broken Bones in Jeffrey Epstein's Neck 'Are Common In Victims of Homicide by Strangulation'
PJ Media ^ | Aug. 15, 2019 | Michael Van Der Galien

When it was first reported that pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein had died in a maximum-security prison, supposedly by suicide, the Internet was immediately ablaze with conspiracy theories. That's not so strange considering that several people had warned beforehand that Epstein had dirt on many important people; people who would be well served by his untimely death.

An autopsy has now found, the Washington Post reports, that Epstein "sustained multiple breaks in his neck bones, according to two people familiar with the findings." And that's rather... interesting:

Among the bones broken in Epstein’s neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam’s apple. Such breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject. But they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation, the experts said.

I think the Attorney General stop autopsy from coming out because he suspected that it was not a hanging!

Not all cervical spine fractures are the result of hanging.

I listen to the Forensic Files most evenings on my daily commute. This makes me an expert.

Interestingly enough there was a guy who strangled his wife to death and tried to make it look like she was choked to death by a ligature.

The Hypoid bone was broken which proved that a thumb had been used to quiet her while he strangled her. Jeffery's Hypoid bone was broken too.

Supposedly someone heard a scream. He should have bruises and other signs of struggle if someone attacked him, shouldn’t he?

It’s only a little bit fishy.

For the most part, the conspiratorial aspects of this whole thing are how much that happened to enable his suicide... beyond accidental negligence it would see.

...but... apparently hurting the hyoid bone is actually rather easy to do. It happens a lot with strangulation cases, even ones where actual strangulation wasn’t carried through. What strains credibility some, but is still theoretically possible, is to jolt the neck vertebra enough to break them. That takes a lot of force. Strains the imagination. How we have gone from a rather creative attempt to use angular tension to somehow getting the fall all on the strain of the neck for AT LEAST several inches. I think it’s possible, but improbable.

I still think it was an un-assisted suicide though. This guy was enabled in many ways, but it’s pretty clear on what we know so far that he wanted to go.

It’s ok, because he’s appalled.

Our domestic enemies are becoming emboldened.

Now, it’s in our faces, and “Whatcha gonna do about it?”

So are hand marks on the throat. Were there any? I don’t think you can choke someone to death, literally break their neck bones, and not leave some pretty good finger marks. Even using a bed sheet or rope I think the marks would differ from hanging.

Perhaps he was drugged before the incident. Hope his autopsy examines the content of his digestive system.

Given the circumstances where Epstein, who was over 6”, managed to make a noose from a bedsheet, attach it to a upper bunk and hang himself would seem to preclude fractured neck bones. I think it is more likely he was manually strangled by person or persons unknown. After Epstein’s previous “suicide” attempt he apparently claimed he was attacked. The autopsy would seem to point to homicide

Well....he could have just been trying to satisfy his sexual drive by asphyxiation gone wrong! People die accidentally while practicing what's known as autoerotic asphyxiation--strangling or suffocating themselves to heighten sexual arousal and orgasm. When you rob your brain of oxygen (asphyxia), you experience a high -- euphoria, dizziness, and lowered inhibition -- before you lose consciousness.

Certainly the ME can determine how Epstein died. Release the damn report.

I would like to know who the “unnamed”, “unidentified associate” of Epstein who claimed his body is. Will the body be quickly cremated? Who is this person?

Sure, that’s the ticket. What’s the big fuss, anyway, right?

Yep.....read one gal said Epstein had to be “serviced” at least three times daily, which would make him a sexual addict. Like any drug that induces highs it's never enough and people then resort to ‘other’ means and measures to obtain their sexual high and increase it....

Epstein had to go dry turkey....I doubt he fared well after living a life where nothing was withheld from his sexual appetite....to where he had a single cell with nothing remotely like the life he had lived. So it's possible he pulled this act off for sexual gratification....and it went too far.
