"My opinion is that his death was most likely caused by strangulation pressure rather than hanging. Given all the information now available, further investigation into the cause and manner of death is warranted, he said."
"Even one fracture, we have to investigate the possibility of a homicide. Two definitely warrant a full investigation, he told the newspaper. Findings in textbooks never see those fractures, and neither have I. He added, That was my opinion at that time, and I still stand by it. The autopsy findings are much more consistent with a crushing injury caused by homicidal strangulation than caused by hanging by suicide"
Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. New York's chief medical examiner at the time, Dr. Barbara Sampson, ruled the death a suicide by hanging. Dr. Michael Baden, an experienced pathologist who observed the autopsy for Epstein's estate, said the injuries were more consistent with homicidal strangulation than hanging. The official autopsy recorded three fractures in Epstein's neck; Dr. Baden said he had never seen such fractures in a hanging during five decades reviewing inmate deaths. A redacted Justice Department report listed the manner of death as pending. Dr. Baden called for further investigation given newly available information.
