Pathologist Hired by Jeffrey Epstein's Brother Says that Billionaire Pedophile's Strangulation Was More Consistent with Murder Than Suicide

Oh.

Well that's a real how-do-you-do!

We already knew this, actually. Epstein's hyoid bone was broken, which is more consistent with murder by strangulation than hanging oneself, except for one thing -- people older than sixty do tend to break their hyoid bones when hanging themselves. And Epstein was older than sixty.

I think the broken hyoid is the basis for the statement now made by the pathologist hired to review the case, Dr. Michael Baden.

(I am assuming the "series of fractures on his larynx" refers to the hyoid bone, which is on the larynx, and which was mentioned previously as having been fractured.)

Baden particularly noted a series of fractures on Epstein's larynx, on or near the Adam's apple, which he told Fox News are not consistent with a suicidal hanging.

"Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation," Baden said.

Although the doctor would not say the evidence is conclusive, he described the three fractures as “rare.” Baden has been involved in post-mortem assessments of cases that include the deaths of former President John Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

...

He pointed to the bleeding that occurred in Epstein’s eyes and said that is usually a byproduct of being strangled but rarely occurs when someone is hanged.

I just got an email from Dr. Michael Baden:

I HAVE EVIDENCE THAT WILL LEAD
TO THE ARREST AND CONVICTION OF HIL

And then it just ends.

And I don't know how this happened, but there's blood splattered on the email.

Is that AfterEffects...? Weird, it's actually wet.
