In a stunning revelation, Dr. Michael Baden, a renowned forensic pathologist and former New York City chief medical examiner, has declared that Jeffrey Epstein did not die by suicide but was instead strangled, based on his observations during the convicted sex offender's post-mortem examination.
Baden, who attended the autopsy on behalf of Epstein's family, is renewing his calls for a full investigation into the financier's mysterious death, arguing that the evidence points unequivocally to homicide rather than the official suicide ruling.
Speaking out forcefully, Baden contends that the autopsy findings do not align with suicide by hanging. "My opinion is that his death was most likely caused by strangulation pressure rather than hanging," he stated, directly challenging the conclusion from New York’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
As a veteran in the field, Baden's expertise carries significant weight. Having served as New York City's chief medical examiner, he brings decades of experience in distinguishing between suicidal hangings and homicidal strangulations, emphasizing that the physical evidence in Epstein's case fits the latter.
Epstein, a notorious child predator and convicted sex offender, died while in federal custody, sparking widespread speculation and conspiracy theories. Baden's whistleblowing intervention underscores the discrepancies between the observed injuries and the proclaimed cause of death.
The doctor's assertions have reignited demands for transparency and a thorough probe, warning that dismissing the strangulation evidence risks burying the truth about what he describes as a murder.
