BREAKING: Medical examiner says Jeffrey Epstein autopsy completed, determination still pending


https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Autopsy-Results-for-Jeffrey-Epstein-Expected-Sunday-Afternoon-Medical-Examiner-535153511.html

An autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein was completed on Sunday, but the medical examiner hasn't yet released the jailed financier's cause of death.

The medical examiner allowed a private pathologist to observe the autopsy, he said in a statement.

"The ME's determination is pending further information at this time," his statement said.

Epstein died "from an apparent suicide" and was found around 6:30 a.m. Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, the jail confirmed. Sources told NBC 4 New York he hanged himself.

It's probably toxicology tests pending which seems to be standard procedure. nt chowder66 Aug 2019 #1

Perhaps they're waiting for toxicology or pathology results to be difinitive.

Just because it's easy to diagnose, it doesn't mean it's easy to say whether it was suicide or murder.
