Epstein’s Autopsy ‘Points to Homicide,’ Pathologist Hired by Brother Claims

The New York Times (10/31/2019)
  • Dr Michael Baden, a forensic pathologist hired by Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, disputed the official finding that financier Epstein committed suicide in jail via hanging.
  • On the “Fox & Friends” morning show, Baden said that Epstein’s injuries (eg broken neck bone) occur “much more commonly” in homicidal strangulation.
  • “I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case”.
  • The NYC medical examiner’s office strongly disputed Baden’s conclusion and re-affirmed the hanging suicide.
  • Baden has generated headlines before for defending OJ Simpson.
