A doctor who was present during Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy is calling for a renewed investigation into the cause of his death. Dr. Michael Baden, hired by Epstein’s estate, believes that the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner’s conclusion that Epstein died by suicide while facing sex trafficking charges in 2019 may be incorrect.
Dr. Baden, who attended the examination as an observer for Epstein’s family, expressed doubts about the initial ruling, stating that the death was likely due to strangulation pressure rather than hanging. He emphasized the need for a thorough examination given the available information.
Following Epstein’s death, extensive documents related to the Department of Justice’s probe into the disgraced financier have been disclosed. These files, including surveillance footage from the night Epstein died, have raised suspicions about the circumstances surrounding his demise. Speculations suggest a possible window of opportunity for foul play to occur based on missing footage and peculiar movements captured on camera.
Dr. Baden insists on reevaluating Epstein’s cause of death, especially as the post-mortem report released in December left the manner of death unresolved, with both suicide and homicide categories left blank. Despite his inconclusive professional findings after the autopsy, Dr. Baden criticized the subsequent determination by Dr. Barbara Sampson, New York’s former chief medical examiner, labeling it as premature and disputing her suicide ruling.
Dr. Sampson, who was not present during the autopsy, defended her assessment and refuted Dr. Baden’s claims of potential foul play. The controversy surrounding Epstein’s death continues to spark debate, urging a closer examination of the events leading to his demise.
