Renowned pathologist questions ‘ridiculous’ DOJ report on Epstein’s death

A renowned forensic pathologist criticized a Justice Department report that found Jeffery Epstein’s death by suicide was aided by negligence and misconduct on behalf of the jail guards tasked with monitoring him. Speaking to Radar Online, Dr. Michael Baden called the report “ridiculous,” saying it ignored clear-cut evidence of a homicide.

Baden has investigated hundreds of prison suicides over his 50-year career as the pathologist for the New York State Correction Medical Review Board. He said he was not contacted for the report, despite being in the autopsy room.

According to Baden, the Justice Department only spoke to the pathologist at the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office, who did the autopsy and determined the death was a suicide.

Baden also took issue with the report concluding that there “were no injuries to the body” of Epstein at the time of his death. Baden said the report grossly ignored the fact that Epstein had a fracture on either side of his larynx, in addition to the one around his Adam’s apple that is typical of hanging victims.

“The most common way to commit suicide in jail or prison is by hanging,” Baden said. “In 99% of the cases I’ve investigated – and we’ve had hundreds of such deaths – I have never seen one with three fractures.”

The report also shows the FBI did not conduct a full-blown investigation into Epstein’s death despite his connections to former presidents like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, and billionaires like Bill Gates and Les Wexner.
