Dr. Michael Baden, a high-profile pathologist, has called for a renewed investigation into the 2019 death of Jeffrey Epstein, challenging the official ruling of suicide by hanging. Baden, who observed Epstein's post-mortem, claims the evidence, particularly three neck fractures, is more consistent with homicidal strangulation. He notes that the initial post-mortem report left the manner of death as pending, but Dr. Barbara Sampson, then-chief medical examiner of United States — New York City, later ruled it a suicide despite not being present at the autopsy. Baden's claims are supported by newly released government files and CCTV footage showing a 'missing minute' and an 'orange flash' near Epstein's cell, as well as documented security failures at the United States — Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York, including unperformed checks and falsified records. The United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States — United States Department of Justice have affirmed suicide, but Baden insists further investigation is warranted.
