File 91 - The Official Cause: Suicide. The Independent Autopsy: Strangulation.

This episode conducts the most thorough forensic re-examination of Epstein's death possible from public records, building on Episode 65 (Dead a Day Early) and Episode 34-36 (the death and aftermath) to synthesize ALL available forensic evidence and unresolved questions into a single comprehensive analysis. Barbara Sampson's ruling of suicide by hanging), Dr.

Michael Baden's independent review (finding evidence more consistent with homicidal strangulation), the hyoid bone fracture debate, the ligature marks analysis, the camera footage gaps, the guards' behavior and falsified logs, the removal from suicide watch, and the EFTA00013180 press release dated a day early. The thesis is that the forensic record contains enough anomalies and unanswered questions to demand further investigation, regardless of one's theory about what happened, and that the institutional failures surrounding the death were themselves a form of injustice to victims.
