Conspiracy theories and mysteries continue to surround the death of convicted sex offender and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein who was found dead last week at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. But not all we read/hear are conspiracy theories — many are facts that reveal such blatant corruption that some simply find it hard to wrap their heads around them enough to believe the stories are true. Today, we have learned more about Epstein’s death by reputable sources.
An autopsy was performed on Epstein soon after his body was found. The death was described as an “apparent suicide” by U.S. Attorney General William Barr. Epstein reportedly hanged himself. No witnesses, no guards, no camera footage exists of when the alleged suicide “apparently” happened.
The autopsy report now reveals he had multiple breaks in his neck bones — with some injuries considered irregular for a suicide, the Washington Post reports.
Among the bones broken in Epstein’s neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam’s apple. Such breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject. But they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation, the experts said.
Further investigation is, of course, expected.
People familiar with the autopsy, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive stage of the investigation, said Sampson’s office is seeking additional information on Epstein’s condition in the hours before his death. That could include video evidence of the jail hallways, which may establish whether anyone entered Epstein’s cell during the night he died; results of a toxicology screening to determine if there was any unusual substance in his body; and interviews with guards and inmates who were near his cell.
One thing is for sure: This story is not, and should not be going away quickly — not only because we want to know the truth about how Jefferey Epstein died, but more importantly to redeem the plethora of innocent, underage victims that he and his pals raped.
