A pathologist hired by Jeffrey Epstein's brother is suggesting Epstein was murdered

Jeffrey Epstein's death has resulted in a lot of speculation, and a Fox News contributing pathologist hired by Epstein's brother just added to the hysteria.

The official autopsy result indicated Epstein — a millionaire financier and convicted sex offender who died in a Manhattan jail cell in August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges — died by suicidal hanging, but Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner who observed the autopsy, told the hosts of Fox & Friends on Wednesday he wasn't convinced.

Baden said Epstein experienced a number of injuries that "are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation," suggesting there was at least a possibility Epstein was murdered. Baden was also dubious about how the stringent Manhattan Correction Facility could have allowed Epstein's suicide to happen.

Baden acknowledged that was worthy of skepticism, but he argued the state of New York has long been concerned that police and medical examiners were biased against inmates who complained prison deaths were covered up.
