Dr. Cyril Wecht on Epstein Death: “Have Not Seen” Multiple Fractures in “Simple Leaning Into Suicide
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 8/17/2019 | Jim Hoft

Dr. Cyril Wecht joined Kennedy on FOX Business Network on Wednesday night to discuss Jeffrey autopsy results.

Dr. Wecht, who is a doctor and lawyer, told Kennedy a Montreal study found only 2 of 239 hanging death resulted in a broken Hyoid bone — or less than 1% of those killed.

Top US inmate and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein suffered broken bones in his neck and a broken Hyoid bone that is more common in strangulation deaths.

Wecht added that every prisoner in the MCC on his floor should be questioned about his death.

On Thursday Dr. Mark Siegel told Bulls and Bears on FOX Business Network that the hyoid bone might break in strangulation about one-third to one-half of the time. In suicide, hanging, it might break 6-10% of the time.

On Friday Dr. Wecht went on with Gregg Jarrett on Hannity to discuss Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy results.

This was after the New York medical examiner ruled Epstein’s death a suicide.

Dr. Wecht did not back down from his original statements.

Dr. Cyril Wecht: Let me say, if this is a lean-into kind of a hanging, not someone hurling himself from the top bunk. But if he were for example, sitting on the lower bunk or kneeling by there, and no evidence of him being on the top bunk, and hurling himself off, then there is no velocity there is no force imparted to that scenario. Leaning forward in my opinion would not lead to what we have been told are “multiple fractures.” We don’t know what was broken exactly. No details have come from the medical examiner’s office. We’re told by the Washington Post, New York Post that the hyoid bone was broken, that’s above the Adam’s Apple… If there are fractures of the thyroid cartilage, the Adam’s Apple in association with the hyoid bone that is highly suspicious and in my opinion extremely unlikely to be caused by a leaning into type of suicide hanging… I agree and I want to make that clear that I cannot express an opinion with reasonable medical certainty. I can only repeat what I have said based upon the cases I have myself examined, hundreds of cases over the years in my 20,000 plus autopsies, 40,000 other cases that I have reviewed, supervised or signed off on. That I have not seen multiple fractures in a simple leaning into kind of suicidal hanging when there is no velocity.

The “official” report says suicide, but I think they’re hard on the trail of the killer(s) and want things to die down a bit.

What’s to say he wasn’t murdered by strangulation and then posed to make it look like hanging? Would explain most everything that has been publicly released, if true.

Really?

Maybe they'll ask OJ to help them find the real killer.

I wonder if this autopsy was videotaped? If so, which I highly doubt, Wecht should take a look at it. This entire suicide story is so bizarre.

Is Barr part of the Derp State? Can we expect this in the investigations of corrupt FBI officials?
I remember all the praises lavished on Lynch and others.

” I have not seen multiple fractures in a simple leaning into kind of suicidal hanging when there is no velocity.”

Simple rudimentary physics.

The most common way to hang yourself in prison is to LEAN forward until you pass out.

It’s only in the movies that they are hanging 2 feet off the ground in their cell.

There is no reason to think bones would be broken this way.

That’s why the broken bones show he was murdered.

The good doc isn’t going to get much TV time if he suggests it’s a garden variety prison suicide.

It would’ve been nice if Donald Trump and William Barr made damn sure that Jeff Epstein wasn’t murdered. The same government which takes hundreds of billions of dollars from its citizens each year can’t be trusted to protect one man out 300 million Americans? Seriously? WTF?

The United States government is the biggest waste of money in the history of mankind.
