Jeffrey Epstein’s brother has come forward asserting that new autopsy findings will reveal that the disgraced financier was murdered and did not die by suicide in 2019, contrary to official reports. Epstein was found dead by hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting trial on multiple sex trafficking charges.
Mark, Epstein’s sibling who identified the body, recently stated in an interview with NewsNation that forthcoming information will prove his belief that his brother was killed while in custody. According to Mark, “Jeffrey was murdered, and more autopsy details will be disclosed in February to substantiate this claim.” He mentioned that the injuries observed on Epstein’s body did not align with the circumstances of his supposed hanging.
After Epstein’s death, Mark enlisted the expertise of former NYC chief medical examiner, Dr. Michael Baden, to review the official autopsy. In 2019, Baden concluded that the evidence suggested homicide rather than suicide. Despite this, official investigations have maintained that Epstein, aged 66, took his own life.
A 2023 Department of Justice inspector general report highlighted various failures in prison oversight that contributed to Epstein’s death but concluded that there was no external involvement. Nevertheless, suspicions persist that Epstein may have been eliminated to shield his influential connections.
Mark emphasized in his NewsNation interview, “There are only three ways to die in prison: suicide, natural causes, or murder. Jeff was murdered. I want answers on who and why.”
Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her involvement in Epstein’s sex trafficking activities, also expressed skepticism about Epstein’s alleged suicide. During an interview with deputy attorney general Todd Blanche in Florida, Maxwell stated she did not believe Epstein died by suicide and refrained from speculating about the identity of any potential perpetrator.
Maxwell further mentioned the potential dangers within prison settings where inmates could be coerced to commit violent acts for minimal compensation. She dismissed claims of external involvement in Epstein’s death and suggested it could have been an internal matter if indeed a murder had occurred.
Additionally, Maxwell discredited theories of someone silencing Epstein to prevent him from revealing damaging information, stating that such a scenario would have been easier to execute outside of jail. She emphasized that she lacked any firsthand knowledge or beliefs supporting the notion of Epstein being eliminated to suppress information.
