Doctor Present at Epstein's Post-Mortem Claims He Was Strangled and Didn't Take Own Life

  • This past week, Dr Michael Baden, a veteran forensic pathologist hired by Epstein’s estate, said to The Telegraph, `My opinion is that his death was most likely caused by strangulation pressure rather than hanging` and called for further investigation.
  • Among the materials released, CCTV footage shows a 'missing minute' and an 'orange flash' near Epstein's tier, fueling scrutiny, as the DOJ released three million files.
  • The post-mortem record shows three distinct neck fractures, including the left hyoid and thyroid cartilage, and Epstein's death certificate was initially marked 'pending' before Dr Barbara Sampson ruled suicide by hanging five days later.
  • Authorities, including the FBI and the US Department of Justice, continue to say Epstein killed himself, while Epstein's lawyers and family have called for an independent review.
  • Senior experts note that senior forensic figures remain divided over Epstein's death, and observers warn unresolved disputes and prison issues threaten public trust and call for review by New York authorities and correctional oversight bodies.
