NYC’s Chief Medical Examiner has completed Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy but said more information is needed before a cause of death can be determined.
‘The ME’s determination is pending further information at this time,’ Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson said in a statement.
‘At the request of those representing the decedent, and with the awareness of the federal prosecutor, I allowed a private pathologist (Dr. Michael Baden) to observe the autopsy examination. This is routine practice.’

The news of the delay to the autopsy results comes after a source told the New York Post there was no video of the moment he died in his jail cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Cameras are said to film the doors to each cell which would show anyone who entered or exited, but they do not point inside.
On Sunday it was revealed that the two prison guards at Epstein’s jail who reportedly failed to follow procedure and check on prisoners every 30 minutes were working long overtime shifts the night the pedophile took his own life.
A prison official told The New York Times one of the guards was working his fifth straight day of overtime at the short staffed jailhouse while the second corrections officers had been forced to work overtime.
A source had said that guards are required to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed overnight.
In addition, every 15 minutes guards are required to make another check on prisoners who are on suicide watch.
The decision to remove Epstein, who was possibly the most high-profile inmate in the federal jail system, from suicide watch has both baffled former wardens and veterans of the federal prison system alike.
Occam’s Razor would dictate that Epstein killed himself and rank incompetence and/or indifference by prison staff let it happen. But we certainly need to get to the bottom of it.
The incompetence/indifference was only “rank”?
Occam’s razor broke into very small pieces to get to that conclusion.
Another Occam’s razor (the surviving one) concludes that there was large money–VERY large money–spread around with the understanding that few, if any, “checks” would be made, AND that the video cameras would suddenly fail, as they did.
Yes dad, the only thing missing is a news report of the officials of the prison having a tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton to discuss grandkids.
I wonder if Ghislaine Maxwell has been scooped up and put in federal protective custody yet. She might find an immunity agreement much more appealing today than she did on Friday morning.
Best comment I saw elsewhere – “As of date, the Clintons have not been exonerated in this matter”.
I just want to openly express to Bill and Hillary Clinton: I have no knowledge of your activities.
Just trying to stay safe from involuntary “suicide”.
If Trump knew that the Clintons were involved, wouldn’t he have wanted Epstein alive and kicking?
The person who called off the suicide watch a week after his first “attempt” (an attack by another prisoner was not ruled out) is the killer. Both the warden and the prison psychologist make the final call.
First off: the cameras did not “fail” as had been reported earlier. However, no camera was pointed into the cell, and we have not seen the footage which shows the corridor outside the cell.
Second: I don’t think it was a Clinton op, but I won’t rule them out. At least it was not as clumsy as the Ron Brown “plane crash death” with a .45″ hole in the top of Brown’s head, or Vince Foster’s grass-and-carpet-fiber-filled heels (the bi-locating suicide.)
There was no trace of leftover Comet Ping-Pong pizza in the facility.
More nonsense from the president of Crackpot University. Spouting RWNJ theories about Brown and Foster will surely get you tenure.
All I stated was the facts, LeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRoy–and all you can come up with is more of your typical 6th-grade name-calling. Your role model is Rachel Maddow? Proud of that?
dud:
Your version of alternative facts perhaps, but not real, honest to goodness factual facts. You are just another run of the mill RWNJ.
