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.

Very fair point, It would make a huge difference because breaking vertebrae would be very unlikely without some help.
Well put, exactly
I didn’t even mention Football, even worse that Motocross on the neck. I agree, depends on which were broken. We will probably never get the truth about that detail though.
Who is this co-opted “medical examiner”? I wouldn’t believe anything he/she/it said.
And it appears we won’t be hearing from Pathologist Baden as he is bound by a gag order.
Was there any doubt of what a carefully picked NY Official was going to say. You don’t get a job like that unless you are handpicked to be able to be called upon when needed.
I read somewhere that this medical examiner also brought in another deep stater to be a witness. I believe that it was a guy who was involved with the examination of JFK.
If it were any other victim then this would have been ruled a homicide.
Yeah, sad we live in this world where you don’t know who to trust. After Jussie Smollett and the FBI lies it really causes one to doubt authority.
Funny how he was able to hand himself from a bunk 5 feet off the ground.
wonder if the ME will suddenly eat poison and his assistant will run away......like sandy
There was never a finding by anyone that it was more likely homicide.
Trust in a modern economy is everything. Even if it is misplaced. In this case MAYBE he did commit suicide, but no one trusts authority anymore. That is a problem.
Agree!
This mystery person has filed, but, before the Epstein File is stamped CLOSED, let's hope for a period of further discussion--and a possible 2nd autopsy given the deep questions swirling around the possibility of an Epstein homicide.
AG Barr should authorize further forensic investigation into the state of the cadaver and the troubling questions raised by the prison activities that led to Epstein's broken hyloid bone.
This cause-of-death stinks to high heaven. The mysterious "Epstein associate" better keep his/her paws off the cadaver until this thing is satisfactorily wrapped up.
Was merely a nurse but this is bugging me also. Rope around the neck would certainly snap the hyoid and cervicals but he'd have to somehow swan dive off a bunk with bed sheets and twist somehow while putting full weight of his over six foot body before hitting the ground? That's some serious physics.
Objectively I can't see this, but since it's written all over the media and don't want to be considered a conspiracy theorist with those nasty Red Flag laws a coming, then I BELIEVE!*cough*
What, I guess that coroner did not want that delicious arsenic sandwich.
I believe the correct medical terminology is ‘highly assisted involuntary suicide’
“Well, they got to the M.E.”
Was it the normal M.E. handling autopsies, or did the normal M.E. just happen to be on vacation and someone filled in? Inquiring minds want to know.
