Obviously the media that claimed his bed sheets were paper and those who parroted it on this forum were mistaken.

He reportedly used a cloth bedsheet tied to the upper bunk and knelt down with such force, bones in his neck were broken, consistent with his age.

If his body was released, as has been reported and attributed to an unnamed source, it probably will be cremated and eliminate a second autopsy, should a court, at some future date, believe it’s warranted.

Hard to imagine breaking any bones that way.
Upper bunk and knelt.

How does one "kneel down with such force" that bones are broken?

That's ridiculous.

Baden was there. This is the guy the govt brought in to re-examine the JFK and MLK autopsies because the rumors were hitting hot and heavy.

No one will question this ruling because Baden was there.

You can see it in the arriving destination and departing destination columns. You can see departing port A, Arriving port B. Next column is departing port B, arriving port C. Depends on if the abbreviations show he even stopped there, as far as these logs go.

Or perhaps the New York City Coroner's office is just as susceptible to corruption as so much of the rest of government across our country is.

Yes, they do. They do NOT have fricken paper sheets in their cells. They have actual sheets. No, they are not a high thread count, but they are still sheets.

As I said earlier, those bunk beds are not that tall. Even someone under 6' is not going to be able to hang themselves from that top bunk with their feet dangling in the air. I'm 5'5". I could not even hang myself with my feet dangling from the top bunk.

It's like people think that no prison has ever thought of these things in the past and didn't build their prisons, the cells, and what very little "furniture" (for lack of a better word) is available in the cell to prevent the inmates from using said "furniture" to do harm to themselves.

They were probably told by the Feds "he's an intelligence asset - let it be - for the good of the US"

Sigh...

One needn't hang from a long distance in order to die from "hanging".

Robin Williams committed suicide by hanging himself with a belt from a doorknob. According to the coroner's report, which is online, Williams was found in a seated position on the floor.

Kate Spade hanged herself with a scarf on a doorknob in her apartment.

Anthony Bourdain hanged himself with his bathrobe belt in the hotel bathroom where he was staying.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27687828

Epstein was 66 years old, and the elderly are more likely to suffer hyoid bone fractures, etc. in suicidal hanging.

"Had Jeffrey Epstein been only twice as old as his teenage victims, his hyoid bone would have remained so flexible that a fracture would have been a much stronger indication he had been strangled.

But at 66, the U-shaped bone between his chin and his Adam’s apple likely would have become so brittle with age that it also could have been broken by hanging".
