Autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein complete, cause of death suicide by hanging

Source for whatever it's worth NYT.

You have to pay them to read it. Unless you go in through the backdoor.

They say he was found 6:30 a.m. on Saturday. He appeared to have tied a bedsheet to the top of a set of bunk beds then knelt toward the floor with enough force to break several bones in his neck.

I'm trying to picture this. Bunk beds 5+1/2 feet tall, Epstein 6 feet tall. Knot tied to the top bunk. Kneeling on the floor, slamming his body forward with such force that breaks bones in his neck. Okay. Got it.

He had been left alone after his cellmate was transferred and the two guards assigned to him had not checked on him for about three hours before he was found. These employees who have since been placed on leave were sleeping for some or all of that time.

Boston Globe. Doesn't charge for its propaganda.
AP.
Fox Business.

Let the alternate theories begin.

PopCulture, conspiracy theories flying on Twitter.

I'm going to wait for the Warren Retort.

I'll be waiting a long time.

The bone that indicates strangulation, rather than hanging, was broken.

It may not have been Arkancide only because he had the dirt on so many people.

I doubt there will be a retort in this instance, Warren or otherwise.

It's interesting just how hard the Times tries with it's word choices to convince the reader that the ME's report is true.

More importantly, here is a photo of that ME standing in the morgue that indicates that the woman just ain't right. I think you'll see why.

Also, there is a question as to whether or not there were bunk beds in the cell. Some reports say so (The Times, without a source) others do not. Single beds would make the broken bone(s) harder to credit.

Hey Rabel, how are you doing? And that woman does look a bit off, but then again, as with being an undertaker, only people with a certain type of mentality go into that line of work. I like solving mysteries as much as the next fellow, but never once wanted to go into the autopsy business.

Rabel said...

I'm fine thanks.

I was talking about the sandals and nearly bare feet in the morgue.

The Dude said...

That's what I noticed too, and I sure hope she at least she wears booties when she is slicin' and dicin'.

The sandals are a bit much, I mean what the hell.
