NYC Medical Examiner Report - Epstein Cause of Death

The New York City Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson ruled Epstein's death a suicide by hanging. The determination was made after a thorough forensic examination. The ruling was later questioned by forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, retained by Epstein's brother Mark, who stated that evidence was more consistent with homicidal strangulation, though this view was not adopted by official investigators.
