Doctor Present at Epstein's Autopsy Says It Was Murder

A veteran forensic pathologist present at Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy says the injuries he saw were not consistent with a typical jailhouse suicide. He believes it was a homicide.

For years, the official story has been firm. It was suicide in a federal cell. Case closed. Move on. But one of America’s most experienced forensic pathologists has never moved on.

Dr. Michael Baden, who was present at the autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein as an observer on behalf of Epstein’s family, has consistently maintained that what he saw in that room did not match a straightforward hanging.

And he is not hedging.

Baden has argued that the pattern of neck fractures and the overall injury profile were more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide. In interviews over the years, he has pointed specifically to fractures of the hyoid bone and surrounding structures, injuries he says are uncommon in typical suicidal hangings but more often seen in manual strangulation cases.
