Jeffrey Epstein was strangled, not hanged in his New York prison cell, according to a doctor present at his post-mortem. According to Dr Baden, his professional findings following the post-mortem on August 11, 2019 were 'inconclusive'. Furthermore, cameras positioned outside Epstein's cell were not functioning properly that night. Dr Baden claimed he noticed this fact during the post-mortem and was worried at the time that the 'noose didn't match the [injury]'. He also alleged that critical evidence was lost because of mistakes made by officials in the handling of Epstein's body.
