Dr Michael Freeman, fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in (https://metro.co.uk/tag/london/) London , will publish an independent report about the late financier’s death after he was given the complete medical examiner’s file by Epstein’s brother, Mark. Ahead of a bombshell talk revealing his findings next month, Freeman told Metro the suicide determination was ‘problematic’. He pointed to evidence such as fingernail marks which allegedly showed Epstein tried to get the ligature off in a ‘potential struggle’ or assault. Dr Freeman, who previously served as chair of forensic and legal medicine with the Royal College of Physicians, told Metro : ‘There are lots of things that are not explained by a suicidal hanging, but are consistent with potentially a struggle. (Jeffrey Epstein images showing autopsy and suicide related details. 15630169 NYC medical examiner hesitated on ruling Epstein's death a suicide due to 'people wanting to kill' him) A picture of evidence collected as part of the investigation into Epstein’s death (Picture: DOJ) ‘He had injuries that could not possibly have been caused by a ligature.’ The pathologist will be releasing the complete medical file, including portions not public, after his talk at a University College London law-faculty event next month. Epstein was found unresponsive in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on August 10, 2019, while he was awaiting trial. A guard said they discovered him hanging with an orange-coloured strip of material around his neck in a near-seated position. (https://metro.co.uk/tag/new-york/) New York chief medical examiner’s office ruled his death a suicide, which was later backed up by a review from the Department of Justice in 2023 and FBI findings. Dr Freeman says he is the first person trained in forensic pathology who has reviewed all the evidence, including the entire autopsy files, since the suicide determination. The top pathologist told Metro that Epstein’s ‘death was completely unique in the annals of suicidal hanging descriptions’. () Dr Freeman says the suicide determination is ‘problematic’ (Picture: Kelly James) He claimed: ‘We had no picture of him suspended. There was no picture of him after he was taken down from the suspension.’ Dr Freeman believes the guard’s description of the position where he found Epstein was ‘credible’, so he said his focus was: ‘Could all of the [Epstein’s] injuries have been caused by the hanging scenario in which he was found?’ He has concluded there are ‘some very notable inconsistencies and areas where there is not adequate explanation of what the medical examiner found.’ The expert said Epstein had a number of injuries aside from the ligature marks, including on his left shoulder and behind his neck. He added: ‘He had injuries that could not possibly have been caused by a ligature, and he had facial injuries that were clearly not caused by resuscitation efforts. Need support?
