The New York Medical Examiner's Office released its official autopsy report on financier and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, finding that he died from suicide by hanging.

On Thursday, the Washington Post reported, citing unnamed sources, that Epstein's autopsy had found "multiple breaks in his neck bones," noting that while that kind of damage can be obtained by self-hanging, "they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation." However, Friday's official report concluded the bones were broken by Epstein kneeling toward the floor with sufficient force to break them, having fashioned a noose from a bedsheet tied to a set of bunk beds, the New York Times reported.

Epstein, 66, died six days ago in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while he awaited trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Due to his having attempted suicide only weeks earlier and his high profile status, Epstein's death aroused a host of conspiracy theories that he had been murdered by powerful friends who feared he might expose their connections to his alleged pedophilic sex ring in his upcoming trial.

The fear of conspiracy was sufficient to prompt Republican Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley to pen a letter to Attorney General William Barr earlier on Friday asking that Epstein's full autopsy be released. Barr has pledged that in Epstein's death, “any co-conspirators should not rest easy.”

Epstein's death is the subject of four federal investigations, including the conduct of the guards assigned to him the night of his death.

NBC reported Friday that a mysterious "Epstein associate" had filed for control over the billionaire financier's remains following the autopsy.

Interesting. I’ve never never thought about a difference between an ME and a coroner. I probably thought they were the same thing.

So the ME produces an “autopsy” which is only supposed to have determined cause of death, i.e., asphyxiation by ligature, not manner of death. I think most people think that an autopsy tells you cause of death but also whether the person was, say murdered. For instance in Jaws, was it supposed to be an ME or the coroner that put out what I thought was an autopsy that the girl was killed by a shark but later changed to a boat propeller.

So what report does the coroner put out?

What indication do you have that this is “exactly as it seems”?

If you were worth $550 million dollars, why would you kill yourself despite facing 45 years in prison. $550 million dollars will pay off a lot of judges and politicians.......

No on the video. I heard no video( on radio only) but then another radio head said they don’t have video in living quarters of the prison. That would be good to research. I do know in state hosptals there are no cameras in living areas. There are however cameras in other parts of the hospital(s) and 5150 intakes have cameras. I don’t know much about prison but he probably wasn’t in the hospital section if off his suicide hold.

I’ve also read and heard his cell was a few down from El Chapo. Has to be high secure. I just could not imagine being on that job and nodding off.

I did check for the ME report and it’s just verbals so God only knows what the actual report says. Good question no answer

Simple logic

1. A prisoner in a locked single cell is found dead with a sheet wrapped around his neck and tied to the bed frame.
2. The prisoner had previously been considered suicidal
3. The prisoner, a multimillionaire, lives in a 50,000 square foot house on his own island and now is incarcerated in a 8x 10 foot cell with no prospect of leaving same for 45 years.
4. The prisoner has good reason to believe he will never enjoy any of the luxury in life he is used to.
5. The prisoner has no reason to continue living.

ARKANICIDE is a type of suicide

I thought it was TEXARKANA-ICIDE.

This is where we differ I guess. I could easily imagine it. They probably had zero respect for the warden because she was probably totally incompetent, so they slept. To me this is far more plausible than the murder scenario.

What do you think of arkancide in general?

Epstein is ridiculously wealthy and has retained the best and most expensive criminal attorneys to fight these charges. His ego is obviously enormous. So WHY in God’s name would he commit suicide NOW - before he’s even been found guilty at a trial that is still many months if not years away. Just doesn’t make any sense no matter how you slice it.

There was never a finding by anyone that it was more likely homicide.

Wounds that are more consistent with strangulation that with hanging if you want to get technical about it. But that kind of says the same thing I was saying, more likely homicide. Or I guess he could have strangled himself so hard he broke his neck in three places.

You don't seriously believe he killed himself do you?

I am sure you are right. Still, there is a difference between cause of death and manner of death. Statistical summaries do often list suicide as the cause of death, but I suppose they get double counted as "gunshot", "poison", ect. Barton Keyes must have something to say about this.

M.E. probably doesn’t want to spontaneously hang himself or have any of his loved ones do so...

Hanging with the Clinton’s is risky business.

You need a really good exit strategy.


Except there is no survivable exit strategy.

And Vince Foster committed suicide.


And Ron Brown managed to put a .45 cal diameter hole in the back of his head
