We all know that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in August. But did he really kill himself? Despite the official ruling, there are telltale signs of a homicide in this investigation.
The autopsy report has been revealed. Dr. Michael Baden is a New York medical examiner whose career has spanned over five decades. He dropped this bombshell that is sure to reignite the suspicions that Jeffery Epstein did not commit suicide.
Baden, who has examined more than 20,000 bodies, was hired by Epstein’s brother to perform the examination.
Baden explains that Epstein had two fractures on the left and right sides of his larynx as well as one fracture on the left hyoid bone above the Adams’s apple.
There were hemorrhages in Epstein’s eyes that were extremely common in homicidal strangulation. Although not completely unheard of in suicidal hangings.
“Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,” Baden said to Fox News.
“The prominent hemorrhage in the soft tissues of the neck next to the fractures is evidence of a fresh neck compression that could have caused the death,” Baden said.
Baden has investigated many high profile cases including O.J. Simpson, President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, record producer Phil Spector, New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez and many others.
“I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case,” the 85-year-old medical legend said to Fox News.
These fractures are extremely rare but there is still not enough evidence for this to be considered conclusive.

Baden, who’s examined more than 20,000 bodies and hosted HBO’s “Autopsy,” explained that if a person weighed 120 pounds and their head weighed 10 pounds, there would be 110 pounds of pressure on the neck at the jaw during a hanging. But, if someone put a hand around a person’s neck and squeezed, that could double or even triple the pressure on the neck, Baden said.
There were also hemorrhages in Epstein’s eyes that were common in homicidal strangulation and uncommon, though not unheard of, in suicidal hangings, the forensic pathologist said.
“The prominent hemorrhage in the soft tissues of the neck next to the fractures is evidence of a fresh neck compression that could have caused the death,” Baden said.
