And Dr. Oz is a quack. He basically admitted it in a Senate hearing.

(146,317 posts)Why would anyone listen to him in the first place? He's not a forensic pathologist. He's a promoter of bogus remedies, really.

(50,559 posts)Apparently, when someone gets hanged the blood goes to their legs and turns them dark. Epsteins legs were pale.
When the guards found Epstein, he was in a kneeling position with a bedsheet tied between the top bunk and his neck. Hence, I am not of the mind that pale legs are absolutely indicative of murder.
Now understand: I do believe Epstein was whacked, and I also believe Our Great President had something to do with it. But I dont believe these proofs prove one way or the other whether he was murdered, suicided or committed suicide without any suggestions from other people.

(16,199 posts)Most suicidal deaths from hanging involve partial suspension with the decedent kneeling or feet on floor but legs bent to apply the pressure. If the pressure is applied in the right spot loss of consciousness can occur within seconds from lack of blood flow to the brain. This is what causes many accidental hangings and is why breathless erotic play and hanging games are so dangerous.
