Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide, Dr. Michael Baden reveals
The body of disgraced money man and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan federal prison cell in August, bore telltale signs of homicide despite an official ruling that he killed himself, a pioneering forensic pathologist revealed to “Fox & Friends” in an exclusive interview Wednesday.
The bombshell claim by Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner who has worked on high-profile cases during a five-decade medical career, is certain to reignite suspicions that surfaced immediately after Epstein, who was awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges involving underage girls, was discovered dead in his cell on Aug. 10. Baden, who was hired by Epstein’s brother and observed the autopsy, told Fox News its findings are more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging. He noted that the 66-year-old Epstein had two fractures on the left and right sides of his larynx, specifically the thyroid cartilage or Adam’s apple, as well as one fracture on the left hyoid bone above the Adam’s apple, Baden told Fox News.
“Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,” Baden, who is also a Fox News contributor, said.

He used to be catholic.
Don’t bother, Dr. Baden. The Clintons already got away with it.
And all this time, I was thinking Epstein was so brave for committing suicide!
That said, Baden said it was a homicide!
Common sense is not common. The MSM and the participants in Epstein’s sordid affairs have made the scandal disappear from view. Baden’s comments will force the MSM to surface Epstein again. And the FBI and DOJ will have to respond. NB. Trump watches Fox & Friends every morning. Expect some tweets.
Whether you know it or not, Baden’s opinions carry significant weight. The Establishment cannot ignore them.
Come on man sure they can and they will.
There is NO WAY DOJ didn’t know this guy was int trouble.
He was the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT witness in America at the time.
Rs and conservatives I’m sure were in his little black book too.
This is going nowhere.
I would refrain from using that one until there is a replacement ...
Fair point
He was in a Federal Pen. FBI, DOJ HEAVILY involved! As, I think, is Kankles and Mr. Kankles! The “list” grows!
Agreed.
I don’t want to call anyone naive, but to think because an expert says the evidence points to strangulation that it’s going to make ANY difference is just not realistic.
I wish I could have the simple faith that some still do that our depts and agencies will do the right thing in the face of overwhelming evidence.
Baden has confirmed what most of us surmised. The government’s official autopsy declares death by suicide. Baden questions that conclusion based on his own observations as a witness to the autopsy. He said that this was not the conclusion when they left the room. The conclusion was reached a week later. Based on what?
We will see what happens. If the evidence points to homicide as Baden avers, then the government owes us a more detailed explanation as to their findings. That has to happen and it will. The ball is in Barr’s court.
Stop this, Trump made a phone call and axed about corruption in the Barak regime.
How did that incriminating factoid escape the dem information control machine?
Does ANYONE think he wasn’t murdered to keep him quiet? Anyone?
Did anyone actually think he committed suicide?
Nah...you’re “big-boned”.
I remember some obviously knowledgeable person wrote before the event that the reason Epstein was placed in that prison was to make sure he did not come out alive.
>>Kept interrupting when “the point” was about to be made!
Almost as if a producer was shouting in their earpieces “but wait!” “ask him about”??
