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.

I don’t think kneeling would do it.

There would need to be plenty of slack in the sheets, tied really well, and then with the body straight, lean over as if falling flat on the face.

I think kneeling is the way most people would do it, which would lead to strangulation and that can break the hyoid bone, but any other bones I doubt.

It’s kinda like watching and knowing a person got run over and killed by a truck and the ME files an autopsy report stating this same person was shot and killed.

I’ll have to add that all the decisions necessary to make it possible for Epstein to be murdered were implemented. Not just one or two, but ALL.

We need the autopsy report to see if that is what occurred. The pathologist will be able to tell from the tissue damage

That’s my thought too. The physics are just not there to do this all by himself. Blanket around the neck attached to something solid, and two guys yanking on his legs. It would explain the broken bones from just a 5ft hanging with no drop. It takes quite a drop to break a neck by hanging, and very unlikely in this situation without a lot of added manpower to increase the force.

Never let the facts get in the way of a conspiracy theory.

How could anyone expect a different outcome?

He did in Federal custody.

Murder was never an option. And will never be.

I don’t care who runs the DOJ.

He could just roll off the 5ft high bunk beds with the clinton cotton sheet wrapped around his neck. That would break his neck.

Yep, the physics are just not there with this situation. It would take two guys pulling on his legs to help break a neck in this cell environment.
