Expert claims Epstein death more consistent with 'homicidal strangulation' than suicide
Dr. Baden, 85, was once the chief medical examiner of New York City and has given expert testimony in multiple high-profile criminal trials, including those of OJ Simpson and Phil Spector. Baden noted in a Wednesday morning appearance on
Fox & Friends that injuries to Epstein's neck were more consistent with a violent attack by another individual than a self-inflicted death by hanging.
Citing several fractures in Epstein's neck that indicated the involvement of another individual, Baden levied that the official New York Medical Examiner's ruling that the death was by suicide could be inaccurate.
"Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation," Baden said. "I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case."
The longtime veteran of forensic science, who has examined over 20,000 bodies, also noted that hemorrhaging in Epstein's eyes was more consistent with a homicidal strangulation than a suicide.
"The prominent hemorrhage in the soft tissues of the neck next to the fractures is evidence of a fresh neck compression that could have caused the death," he said.
Though Dr. Baden expressed doubt that Epstein died by his own hand, he did note that the investigation was incomplete and that if another person had been involved in his death, their DNA would be found on the ligature that was found around Epstein's neck.
"The investigation is not completed until all the information has come in," Dr. Baden said.
