Doctor at Jeffrey Epstein’s post mortem says the paedophile was strangled and not hanged

A doctor has claimed Jeffrey Epstein was strangled, not hanged, in his New York prison cell. Dr. Michael Baden, who was present at his post-mortem, called for the cause of the paedophile’s death to be reinvestigated, almost seven years after he was found unresponsive at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019.  He is unconvinced by the conclusion of the New York Medical Examiners Office that the American millionaire took his own life while awaiting trial on sx trafficking charges.  ‘My opinion is that his death was most likely caused by strangulation pressure rather than hanging,’ the pathologist, who was hired by the financier’s estate, told The Telegraph. He added: ‘Given all the information now available, further investigation into the cause and manner of de@th is warranted.’ While the doctor did not carry out the post-mortem himself, he was present during the examination and acted as an observer on behalf of Epsteins family. ‘At the time that the autopsy was done by the medical examiner, we both agreed that, on the basis of the autopsy report and the information available, more information was needed to determine the cause and manner of death,’ Dr. Baden said. Following the release of more than three million documents related to the late sx offender by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), more questions have been raised about the nature of Epstein’s death. In the latest tranche of files,  never-before-seen footage revealed the moment prison guards found the paedophile’s corpse. In the video, a prison guard is seen approaching a desk near Epstein’s cell at 6.30am on the day of his death. Just 10 seconds later, the person then makes his way to the cell. A little over a minute after this, a guard can be seen moving back and forth between the security desk, where he is shortly joined by two others, and the area housing Epstein’s cell. The guards are then seen running between the two areas. Epstein was officially declared dead at 6.39am, abruptly halting one of the most closely watched federal criminal cases in recent memory. But according to newly-released files, investigators noticed an orange shape moving up a staircase towards the financier’s cell on the night of his de@th. Officials from the FBI and the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) flagged the suspicious CCTV footage, which may have been ‘an inmate’ walking up to the floor the notorious paedophile was being held on. A report, from the OIG, noted that at 10.39pm on August 9, 2019, FBI agents observed that ‘a flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs – could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier’. Further documents reveal that authorities were in dispute about the cause of the unexplained ‘orange flash’.The post Doctor at Jeffrey Epstein’s post mortem says the paedophile was strangled and not hanged appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
