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.

It was under a million total world wide. Wikipeda does account for the way the blood was filtered back then and every type of disease that was transmitted.

Suicide by hanging …. around the Clintons.

The whole matter is so ludicrous that I’m of the belief he is in the Witness Protection Program. Otherwise, could Barr be this negligent (corrupt?) caring for the highest profile witness that was in his custody in American history?

I never said I’m sure but I’m skeptical. Does one need some kind of certification to be skeptical? I suppose a good deal of life experience and some common sense and a pile of dead bodies each one once personally related to the Clintons makes me think twice.

Look at this logically. Over the years the clintons have come in close contact with likely thousands of people, if not more. Of those tens of thousands fifty people have died by accident, suicide or murder. Probably statistically insignificant.

Now if the clintons only knew 100 people and 25 died suspiciously that would be extraordinary justifying closer examination.

The problem is people get an idea in their head that clintons have people killed off and from that point on everyone who dies of any cause, as long as they had some Association with the clintons, is a victim of murder.

You will notice it isnt any law enforcement people making these ridiculous assumptions. It is plain old joe.

There is nothing wrong with being skeptical but at some point if no evidence supports the position it should be given a rest.

The clintons are well known dirtbags, crooks and liars. That is true.

Yes, and here in Canada we still blindly follow authority. Hard to say what is worse. Blindly following authority, or having authority no one trusts anymore.

Suicide is not all that common. I went well past my prime before I had personally knew someone who committed suicide. The suicide rate is about 14 per 100,000. In 2017, there were about 47,000 suicides which seems like a big number. Really it is only about .015% of the US population. Now, how many people have the Clintons known that have committed suicide?

I have no idea to your question. I would guess that people under stress or depressed would be more so inclined.

Suicides in single person jail cells are not uncommon, particularly by pedophile prisoners. Ask any cop, jailer or prosecutor.

Was it a Vince Foster suicide..multiple shots to head and then self transport, rolled up in a rug, to a local park?
Or a Justice Scalia “natural death” (did the body have a pillow over its face...which occurs in all “heart attack” deaths)
?

Both. Both are absurdly unbelievable. And now so is Epstein.
