Medical Examiner Rules Jeffrey Epstein Death Was Suicide by Hanging © Jane Rosenberg

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.
the least plausible suicide since Vince Foster.
It might have been a British spy. I understand they have training videos on “How Not to Be Seen”.
Ha.
All this means is that the Clintons goons got to the medical examiner and reminded her of the coincidental deaths of other medical examiners who have worked on the Clintons victims.
I suspect it was more along the line of highly assisted suicide.
“After a thorough and exhaustive investigation of the death and autopsy of inmate Jeffrey Epstein, it has been determined that, even though there were SOME MISTAKES MADE, Mr. Epstein died by his own hands and this death has officially been ruled a suicide. This case is closed and we will not be taking any questions.......ever.” (Sarc)
The ME can call it suicide and go home and wait for a payoff at some point or he can say the obvious and say goodbye to moments peace for years.
Even as the liberals and the clintoons bend over backwards to say he killed himself, I’ve never heard even one of those fools offer the slightest theory on WHY he would do it.
What’s going to happen?
Something comes out in the trial that will damage his reputation?
Something would come out in the trial that will damage his loving family?
Something would come out in the trail that would damage his ‘friends’?
This guy was at the bottom of the barrel. All he had left to do was get a bag of popcorn and watch the fun. Who would would want to miss that?
Who says he’s dead?
Looks like someone is dead.
Our Republic is Finished!
The incompetence is astounding!
Invest in lead futures!

People often shriek during those forced suicides.

About strangulation and hanging: Language matters Anny SauvageauSir,
It is with interest that I recently read the case of hanging from an indigenous rocking cradle reported by Saha et al.[1] I would like to point out, however, some language issues that have implications on mechanisms of death and pathophysiological concepts.
Firstly, strangulation should not be used as a synonym for hanging. Strangulation is defined as asphyxia by closure of the blood vessels and/ or air passages of the neck as a result of external pressure on the neck.[2] It is subdivided into three main categories: hanging, ligature strangulation and manual strangulation. The distinction between these three entities is attributed to the cause of the external pressure on the neck — either a constricting band tightened by the gravitational weight of the body or part of the body (hanging); a constricting band tightened by a force other than the body weight (ligature strangulation); or an external pressure by hands, forearms or other limbs (manual strangulation). Strangulation being an imprecise term, the usage of term hanging would have been preferable in the case presented by Saha et al.
Secondly, two types of hanging are recognized — hanging with complete free suspension of the body (complete hanging); and hanging with incomplete suspension, with part of the body supporting the victim's weight (incomplete or partial hanging).[3] Saha et al. describe their case as being that of a partial hanging; whereas in the Figure 3 of their paper, the feet of the child are in free suspension above the ground.
Thirdly and most importantly, hanging with a fall from height is not a typical form of hanging and is not a subtype of strangulation. [2] Indeed, hangings after jumping or being pushed from height (including judicial hanging) are very different in nature from typical hangings. Death in these cases is related to fracture-dislocation of the upper cervical vertebrae rather than by asphyxia. This confusion explains the following comments in the report by Saha et al.: “Spinal cord injuries are uncommon in pediatric strangulation.” In fact, spinal cord injuries are virtually nonexistent in hanging and strangulation, whereas they are the most commonly encountered lesions in hanging with a fall from height.
When the term hanging is used appropriately, with the exclusion of fall from height, only three possible mechanisms of death have been proposed — closure of the blood vessels of the neck; compression of the air passages; and vagal inhibition by pressure on the baroreceptors in the carotid sinus and the carotid body.[3,4] Recent studies of filmed hangings by the Working Group on Human Asphyxia have clearly demonstrated that, in all cases deep rhythmic abdominal respiratory movements were not only visualized but were also audible.[3,5] These studies challenge the theory of airway obstruction. Furthermore, the analysis of the witnessed agonal sequence is more in favor of the hypothesis of death being caused by compression of the blood vessels than by vagal inhibition.
These comments do not undermine the interest in the case presented by Saha et al. It is just a reminder that language does matter, and that different terms connote different mechanisms of death and pathophysiological concepts.
I suspect I am not the only Freeper who has spent a little time in the pokey.
It is impossible to hang oneself.
Jailhouse hangings are almost all strangulation.
Only professional hangmen have the expertise to properly break the neck when the body drops and the rope stops momentum.
Hung by their assassins garrote...
Maybe barr should investigate himself.
Greg Gutfeld just said it was suicide by hanging. Suicide by hanging around the Clintons.
He got that from falling on his boots. duuuuh!
what the Medical Examiner REALLY wanted to say -
“even though unbelievable mistake after mistake was made, we’re still gonna call it a suicide ... because we don’t want to get whacked by the Clintons ...”
But don’t worry, Barr is appalled! I mean, really appalled!
I’m sure everyone involved with Epstein will be punished swiftly and to the fullest extent of the law. I have absolute confidence in our Justice Department and the FBI.
