Medical Examiner Issues Official Ruling On Epstein’s Death

It was “officially” suicide.

BREAKING: Medical examiner rules Jeffrey Epstein’s death a suicide, says he hanged himself in his jail cell

But… we all expected that, right?

I mean I REALLY didn’t think the medical examiner was going to pull a “GAAASP! ESCANDALO!’ move here.

According to the New York Times:

Guards on their morning rounds found Mr. Epstein at about 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, prison officials said. He appeared to have tied a bedsheet to the top of a set of bunk beds, then knelt toward the floor with enough force that he broke several bones in his neck, officials said.

That is quite a “forceful” lean.

The night before he was found, however, he had been left alone after his cellmate was transferred, and the two employees assigned to guard him had not checked on him for about three hours before he was found.
Officials said the employees, who have been placed on leave, were sleeping for some or all of that time.

Of course, this doesn’t sit well with many who had already raised doubts:

FYI: It’s very hard to break your neck. Professional executioners with experience and gallows often failed to do so and had to watch as the prisoner strangled to death for minutes. Please don’t tell me Jeffrey Epstein broke his own neck off the top bunk. https://t.co/mpuuWNn8Av

If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

Yeah. The speculation won’t be going away any time soon.
