A veteran pathologist who watched Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy has publicly renewed what many Americans suspected from the start: the official story doesn’t add up. Dr. Michael Baden says the injuries he observed are far more consistent with strangulation than the rushed hanging verdict, and he’s calling for the case to be reopened to get to the truth.
Make no mistake, in August 2019 New York’s chief medical examiner formally ruled Epstein’s death a suicide by hanging, a conclusion that has been treated as settled by much of the mainstream establishment. That official finding was announced quickly and became the basis for agencies to move on while millions of questions and inconsistencies piled up.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice inspector general’s exhaustive review blamed a pattern of negligence, misconduct, and chronic failure inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center for leaving Epstein unmonitored, but it insisted there was no evidence of homicide. That report exposed how a broken system and falsified guard logs can be used to paper over catastrophic lapses in custody that deprived victims of justice.
Dr. Baden has pointed to specific autopsy findings — multiple fractures in the hyoid and thyroid cartilages and other hemorrhaging — as signs that the death could be the result of homicidal strangulation rather than a suicidal hanging. Those are technical medical observations, not idle conspiracy chatter, and they merit a proper, transparent forensic reexamination rather than hand-waving from officials who rushed to close the book.
At the same time, newly released records and FOIA dumps have peeled back layers of secrecy that show people in power and the institutions charged with oversight dropped the ball — and in some cases covered for each other. If the FBI and DOJ insist there’s no smoking gun, then they should gladly open every file, unredact every name, and let the public and lawmakers see what they saw; until that happens, skepticism is not paranoia, it’s patriotism.
Hardworking Americans deserve a system that doesn’t let the wealthy and well-connected walk out of responsibility while answers are buried behind redactions and press releases. Call for a new, independent inquiry with congressional oversight, full transparency, and real consequences for failures — not quiet settlements and PR statements. If this country is going to restore faith in justice, it must stop protecting elites and start delivering truth and accountability.
