Pathologist Says Jeffrey Epstein Was Strangled to Death
-------------------------------------------------------

A forensic pathologist hired by the brother of Jeffrey Epstein says the
injuries that killed the multimillionaire sex abuser were consistent
with strangulation - not a death by suicide, as a New York medical
examiner reported. Dr. Michael Baden says a broken bone in Epstein's
neck is "extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much
more commonly in homicidal strangulation." Epstein was found dead in his
Manhattan jail cell in August as he awaited trial on federal sex
trafficking charges. Epstein once counted President Trump and former
President Bill Clinton among his high-profile friends.
