An autopsy has revealed broken bones in Jeffrey Epstein’s neck, bringing up a flurry of new questions about how he died.

According to experts who talked to the Washington Post, his injuries — including a broken hyoid bone — are typically more consistent with death by homicidal strangulation than by suicidal hanging.

Epstein was found hanging in his cell in the Manhattan Correctional Center Saturday morning.

New York chief medial examiner Barbara Samson listed his cause of death as “pending” and is reportedly investigating more deeply the hours before Epstein’s death.

The new revelations are likely to touch off more conspiracy theories, which cropped up immediately after the news broke. President Donald Trump himself has been peddling a baseless hypothesis that the Clintons were involved in Epstein’s death to ensure that Bill, with whom Epstein was acquainted, was kept out of the story.

    Funny how Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein’s cell mate, miraculously made bail and was moved out of Epstein’s cell “before” Epstein’s death.

  3. Wish they’d explain the “hanging” since there is supposed to be absolutely nothing one could hang from.
    Pending autopsy, interesting.

  4. William Barr and his #1 client, current occupant will surely find those responsible…

    How did Bill Clinton, who couldn’t cover up his own ejaculate while President, and Hillary Clinton, who couldn’t get elected President with 3 million more votes, get promoted to Illuminati Masterminds capable of reaching into prison and breaking the neck of the Trump crime family’s personal pimp? Maybe Chelsea is the super ninja.
