‘In 50 Years I’ve Not Seen Such Injuries in A Suicidal Hanging’

Millionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s body bore telltale signs of homicide by strangulation and not suicide, according to a leading forensic pathologist.

In a bombshell interview with ‘Fox & Friends’, Dr Michael Baden shared his conclusions about the suspicious nature of Epstein’s death after the financier was discovered dead in his cell on August 10.

The former New York City medical examiner, who was hired by Epstein’s brother and present at the autopsy, shared that the findings are more consistent with homicidal strangulation.

At the autopsy on day one there were findings that were unusual for suicidal hanging and more consistent with ligature homicidal strangulation,’ said the pathologist.

Baden described how the 66-year-old financier had two fractures on the left and right sides of his larynx, around the Adam’s apple.

Epstein also had a fracture on the left hyoid bone that is above the Adam’s apple, Baden explained.

‘Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,’ Baden said.

Baden – who has worked on cases involving OJ Simpson, President John F Kennedy, Phil Spector, Aaron Hernandez and more – said that the three fractures were ‘rare’.

The 85-year-old forensic pioneer added: ‘I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case.’

Baden has had an extensive career, examining more than 20,000 bodies. He even hosted HBO’s ‘Autopsy.’

The pathologist’s findings are at odds with New York City Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson’s ruling that Epstein died from suicide from hanging.

‘It appears that this could have been a mistake,’ Baden said. ‘There’s evidence here of homicide that should be investigated, to see if it is or isn’t homicide.’

Baden described that a person weighing 120lbs – with a head wight of 10lbs – would have 110lbs of pressure on their neck at the jaw during a hanging. However, the pathologist described that double or triple the pressure could be applied to the neck if a person was to squeeze.

He added that there were also hemorrhages in Epstein’s eyes that were consistent in homicide strangulation yet uncommon – but not unheard of – in strangulation cases.

Baden 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.’

The pathologist asserted that a conclusion could not be reached until the independent study was completed.

‘The investigation is not completed until all the information has come in,’ he said.
