Jeffrey Epstein’s brother has made assertions that forthcoming autopsy revelations will indicate that the disgraced financier was murdered, refuting the official ruling of suicide in 2019. Epstein, facing sex trafficking charges, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York due to hanging.
Identified by his brother Mark, Epstein’s body prompted claims in a recent interview that further evidence will demonstrate foul play in his demise. Mark, 71, stated in an interview with NewsNation that new autopsy details coming in February will support his belief that Epstein was killed, citing inconsistencies in the injuries observed on the body.
Following Epstein’s death, Mark engaged Dr. Michael Baden, former NYC chief medical examiner, to review the autopsy conducted by city officials, leading to Baden’s conclusion in 2019 that the evidence pointed towards homicide rather than suicide. Despite official findings attributing Epstein’s death to suicide, a 2023 Department of Justice report highlighted prison oversight failures but dismissed external involvement in his demise.
Mark emphasized in his interview that there are only three possible outcomes in prison deaths – suicide, natural causes, or murder – firmly stating his belief that his brother was murdered and questioning the motives behind it. Ghislaine Maxwell, serving a sentence for her involvement in Epstein’s illicit activities, also expressed skepticism about Epstein’s suicide, suggesting potential dangers within prison environments.
Maxwell’s testimony to deputy attorney general Todd Blanche reflected her disbelief in Epstein’s suicide and her uncertainty about the circumstances surrounding his death. She highlighted the risks within prison settings, suggesting that internal factors might have played a role in Epstein’s demise. Maxwell disclaimed any firsthand knowledge or endorsement of theories related to silencing Epstein through murder, emphasizing her lack of belief in such narratives.
Overall, skepticism and unanswered questions persist around Epstein’s death, with both his brother and Maxwell casting doubt on the official suicide ruling and raising concerns about potential foul play.
