Seven years after the shocking jailhouse death of Jeffrey Epstein, new forensic claims are reigniting one of the most controversial and debated death investigations in modern history. What was officially ruled a suicide in August 2019 is once again under intense scrutiny, as fresh forensic analysis and unanswered procedural questions refuse to fade. Renowned forensic pathologist Michael Baden, who observed Epstein’s autopsy, has publicly challenged the official conclusion, stating that the pattern of neck fractures and physical evidence appears more consistent with strangulation than suicidal hanging. Speaking to The Telegraph and in multiple interviews, Baden pointed to three critical neck fractures, including damage to the hyoid and thyroid bones, injuries he says are uncommon in typical suicide cases but more frequently seen in homicidal strangulation.
