Post-Mortem Doctor Blows Whistle: Epstein Was Murdered

A doctor who was present during Jeffrey Epstein’s post-mortem has blown the whistle and declared that the child predator did not die of “suicide” because he was “strangled.”

Dr. Michael Baden, the former New York City chief medical examiner who observed the autopsy on behalf of Epstein’s family, is renewing calls for a full investigation into the convicted sex offender’s death.

He is arguing that the available evidence does not support the official ruling of suicide and warns that the autopsy revealed that Epstein was murdered.

Baden said he believes the financier’s death was more consistent with strangulation than hanging.

“My opinion is that his death was most likely caused by strangulation pressure rather than hanging,” Baden said, directly challenging the conclusion issued by New York’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Baden added that, based on information now available, further examination of the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death is warranted.

Autopsy Dispute and Conflicting Conclusions

Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019, on federal sex-trafficking charges.

He was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell on August 10 while awaiting trial.

Baden said the initial findings following the August 11 post-mortem were recorded as “inconclusive.”

As a result, Epstein’s death certificate indicated the cause remained under investigation.

However, days later, then–New York chief medical examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson ruled the death a suicide, without further investigation.

Sampson made the ruling despite Baden’s contention that she was not present at the autopsy itself.

Yet, Sampson publicly rejected Baden’s strangulation assessment and stood by the suicide determination.

Epstein’s legal team also reportedly questioned the ruling.

Nearly seven years later, Baden maintains the medical evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide, intensifying longstanding doubts surrounding the high-profile death.

Surveillance Questions and Timeline Discrepancies

Newly released materials have added further uncertainty, including surveillance footage and investigative notes from the night Epstein died.

Video shows guards approaching Epstein’s cell early the following morning.

The DOJ’s investigative records referenced an unexplained “flash of orange” on the tier where Epstein was housed late the previous night.

The records raise questions about whether another inmate or correctional officer may have accessed the area.

However, no inmates or staff should have been in the area at the time.

At the time, then–Attorney General Bill Barr said he reviewed footage and found no evidence anyone entered the secured area overnight.

However, differing interpretations among investigators have fueled continued scrutiny.

Additional Justice Department records also reveal a striking timeline discrepancy.

As Slay News previously reported, a federal statement described him as already found unresponsive and pronounced dead.

The statement, which was also revealed in the newly released files, was dated August 9, 2019, one day before Epstein was officially discovered.

Yet, it accurately described the circumstances of the official story regarding Epstein’s death.

According to prison records, Epstein was not discovered until the morning of August 10, when a corrections officer delivering breakfast found him in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

Renewed Pressure for Answers

The conflicting medical opinions, disputed surveillance interpretations, and timeline inconsistencies continue to drive demands for transparency in one of the most controversial deaths in modern federal custody.

With Epstein’s trafficking network implicating powerful figures across politics, finance, and global elites, unresolved questions surrounding his death remain central to calls for a deeper investigation into what occurred inside the Manhattan jail cell in August 2019.
