New Questions Arise Over Epstein's Death: Forensic Pathologist Suggests Possible Strangulation

New questions are arising regarding the circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein's death, who was found dead in his cell in August 2019. Forensic pathologist Michael Baden, who observed the autopsy on behalf of the family, is challenging the medical examiner's conclusion of suicide by hanging, arguing that strangulation is more likely. He points to three fractures in Epstein's neck, which, according to his experience, are inconsistent with suicide. The case remains open, with pending answers regarding the 'missing minute' in the security camera footage and conflicting statements from medical examiners.
