A forensic pathologist hired by the family of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein says the autopsy points to homicide rather than suicide.
Dr. Michael Baden told Fox & Friends" on Wednesday morning that the evidence suggests that Epstein, a convicted sex offender who was facing new sex trafficking charges for allegedly abusing dozens of minor girls, was strangled to death. Baden, 85, observed the autopsy.
The official cause of death was suicide.
Epstein, 66, was found in his jail cell early on Aug. 10 at the Metropolitan Correction Center in Manhattan. An unnamed official told The Washington Post that he hanged himself with a bed sheet attached to the top of a bunk bed.
Baden cited the specific fractures on Epsteins neck, saying they are unusual in hangings by suicide and more common in death by strangulation. He also said there were hemorrhages in Epsteins eyes that were common in homicidal strangulation and uncommon, though not unheard of, in suicidal hangings.
His death spawned online conspiracy theories, including that Epstein was killed to keep him from incriminating others.
Two weeks before his death, Epstein was found unconscious in his cell with bruises to his neck and was placed on suicide watch.
Baden told Fox that his independent investigation was not complete.

When 500 people were shot in Las Vegas,
a major major crime,
what did the FBI do??
The FBI gathered up all camera videos never to be seen again.
This is not rocket science among a bunch of know it alls.
The Govt hates video unless it proves their case.
Simple logic and history.
well then who did it, anyone entering the cc has to be let in or work there or break in and out...columbo where are you???
He told his attorneys that he never tried to commit suicide! And the dirty cop cell mate who murdered 3 and buried them in his backyard just happened to be with him when this (the first suicide attempt) happened, and then was mysteriously moved.....
Look to bill and Hillary an a host of other elitist dignitaries who visited the island
Hillary visited the island? Those poor underage girls.
What else does a man intent on suicide but who has failed in his first attempt say? Notice that he didn't say "someone tried to kill me," which I would think a person would be screaming in court if that was the case.
Also the fact that he finalized his will a few weeks before his death. That tells you he was either planning to commit suicide or expected to be killed. But if he was afraid of being killed he wouldn’t have had his lawyers request that he be taken off of suicide watch. To me this points pretty strongly to suicide.
The deal with the cameras not working and the guards not making their rounds can be explained by incompetence. We are talking about a government run facility here, after all.
Epstein’s fractured hyoid bone isn’t surprising since the hyoid calcifies with age and becomes brittle. There was a study of prison suicides by hanging and while it was rare for the hyoid to fracture, when it did fracture it was typically in middle aged men, which fits the Epstein case.
The only thing that bugs me is that his thyroid cartilage was fractured in addition to his hyoid. This is more consistent with a homicidal strangulation, but if that were the case there would be other evidence showing a second person did the deed — telltale ligature marks, etc — and the NYC medical examiner would have seen that. But she is sticking with her conclusion of suicide.
So at this point it seems to me that the least implausible explanation is suicide.
The sex focus on Epstein et al was what we were to believe ONLY
Epstein was the hub of world wide money laundering and court room discover could never have been allowed to happen
An example, Bill and Monica, what comes to mind, oral sex
You tellin me Bill did not plug her?
and who is the source that it was only oral sex?
Why Bill and Monica
