An autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein, the famed sex offender who was found dead in his prison cell in August, revealed that his body bore signs of a homicidal strangulation, not suicide, according to one renowned forensic pathologist who observed the autopsy.

Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner, was hired by Epstein’s brother to observe the autopsy after the pedophile was found dead in jail in August. Baden said on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning that fractures in Epstein’s neck and hemorrhages in his eyes are more consistent with injuries found in homicidal strangulation, as opposed to suicidal hanging.

Baden said that Epstein had two fractures on the left and right side of his larynx, as well as one fracture on the left hyoid bone above the Adam’s apple.

“Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,” Baden said.

These fractures were “rare” in a suicidal hanging, said Baden, who has worked on cases involving O.J. Simpson, President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, record producer Phil Spector, New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez, and others.

“I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case,” he said.

There were also hemorrhages in Epstein’s eyes, common in homicidal strangulation, but uncommon in suicidal hangings, Baden stressed.

The pathologist said that his study was not conclusive and there was still information missing. Baden observed the autopsy, but did not perform it.

Epstein was awaiting trial in federal prison for sex-trafficking underage girls. He was discovered dead in his cell on August 10.
