A forensic pathologist hired by Jeffrey Epsteins brother disputed the official finding in the autopsy of his death, claiming on Wednesday that the evidence suggested that he did not take his own life but may have been strangled. The New York City medical examiners office concluded in August that Mr. Epstein had hanged himself in his jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. But the private pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, said on the morning TV show Fox & Friends that Mr. Epstein, 66, experienced a number of injuries - among them a broken bone in his neck - that are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation. Dr. Baden, a former New York City medical examiner and a Fox News contributor, added, Ive not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case. The findings by Dr. Baden were strongly disputed by the citys chief medical examiner, Dr. Barbara Sampson. Dr. Baden said Mr. Epstein had three fractures in the hyoid bone, the thyroid cartilage. The autopsy also showed Mr. Epstein had several bones broken in his neck. The city medical examiner said Mr. Epsteins death was hanging and the manner was suicide. Before that determination was made public, an article in The Washington Post noted Mr. Epsteins injuries included a broken hyoid bone. Mr. Epsteins death led to several investigations into how a high-profile inmate apparently killed himself just weeks after he was placed on suicide watch.
