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 takes quite a drop to break a neck by hanging,


And I believe to break bones the knot size and placement are critical. Just wrapping a cloth around one’s neck and breaking bones seems unlikely.

Yesterday I heard that Epstein’s killer was ALREADY DEAD......!


If that were true, then the killer of Epstein’s killer is also dead.

Facts
Ok but call Epstein’s lawyers and tell them, Ok?

But as it is now, things don’t quite line up IMO.


And never will - too many coincidences: the cameras off, the guards asleep, the convenience of his death, the manner of his death, and so forth.

Have the remains been accidentally cremated yet?


Spontaneous combustion perhaps ...

I think you’d only get forces like that in a drop hanging but they’re saying that’s not what happened.


But if a person hung himself in a closet and looked very much like Epstein, and they substituted that body while spiriting the real Epstein away, then that might be true ... see Anthony Bourdain for instance ...

Yardstick makes a fair point earlier in the thread. It depends on what bones were broken. If it were vertebrae, no way it could have happened without some help in that cell environment.

Somehow, someway, we have to follow the money.

Maybe one of the guards will win the lottery.. Like Epstein did..
On July 2, 2008 — just one day after convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein started to serve an 18-month jail term in Florida as Inmate No. W35755 — his Oklahoma City “financial planning company,” called Zorro Trust, won the Oklahoma Power Lottery jackpot of nearly $85 million and ultimately collected nearly $30 million in winnings.
When you got all the luck, maybe it ain't luck...

This must be what it was like in the 1950’s, wondering whether your next door neighbor was a secret Soviet communist spy.


Maybe where you lived ... no where else.

The picture in question, I’ve heard, is of someone else taken a year before - Anthony Bourdain I think.

Once those bones are broken, it immediately triggers a drastic change in ear structure which in turn causes the nose to assume a hooked shape.

And other fairy stories wherein large structures are sold for pennies on the dollar.

Epstein is alive and well somewhere, but will never be allowed to leave that place - he just knows too much. His sudden death would entail too many coincidences coming together at once to be plausible to thinking people - the LIVs just move on, since thinking is not in their nature or abilities, while others tear apart the few known facts to find out why they believe what they have been told is true.

We are the Third Roman Empire. That puts events in proper proportion.

Have not yet seen any data how Epstein could manage several broken bones with the “equipment available” in his cell.

I’ll note no one has held or is offering to hold a press conference and answer questions. I find this remarkable but not altogether unusual before the report is actually released.

However, just today I used the word Epstein as a verb to a friend indicating I was on lots of espressos this am and dangerous. I could leap off a coffee bar chair at any moment with a napkin around my neck.

Is that wrong?

So what do you think? Jail break, or in custody somewhere else?

“Meanwhile 22 vets/day——meh!”

Yep, all of them on mind altering psych drugs that come with side effect warnings of suicide and homicidal tendencies, just like every one of the mass shooters for the past 20 years

I know.You have to know what you are doing to be able to do that.

I think, I am going from memory, Vince was left handed and shot himself with his right hand. And even more amazing that that, rolled himself up in a carpet and then rolled himself to Fort Marcy Park. All this after shooting himself.
