Jeffrey Epstein: Judgment of the FBI deputy director of the cause of death after the case evaluation: “I don't ask you to believe me …”

Bongino said in an X -Post that he was asked about certain details about the Epstein case during a recently carried out interview. “I checked the case,” he wrote. “Jeffrey Epstein has killed itself. There is no evidence in the case file that indicates in other ways. I don't ask you to believe me or not. I tell you what does exist and what does not exist. If new evidence flooded, I will be happy to rate again.”

What did the FBI director Kash Patel say?

Epstein's death wore various conspiracy theories, although many claimed that he may have been murdered. During a hearing from the Senate this month, the FBI director Kash Patel emphasized that he believed that Epstein's death was nothing more than a suicide, as reported in the New York Post. “As someone who worked as a public defender as a public prosecutor who was in this prison system and was in the metropolitan prison center, who was in separate apartments, you know a suicide when you see one, and that was what it was.”

Bongino Patel agreed during a joint interview with Maria Bartiromo. “He killed himself,” said Bongino. “I saw the whole file. He killed himself.”

Epstein was found dead a little more than a month after his arrest, with sheets around the neck. He was found dead in his prison cell on August 10, 2019.

Epstein's death was initially ruled as suicide, but his family later stopped a forensic pathologist Michael Baden, who said that a murder was far more likely than a suicide, based on evidence. Baden pointed out how certain fractures in Epstein's thyroid cartilage and tongue bones gave certain fractures, and found that they were more of the result of strangulation. Over the years, many experts have expressed their doubts about this assessment.

Dr. Barbara Sampson, New York City's chief physician examiner from 2013 to 2021, who carried out the original autopsy on Epstein, said at that time: “I am firmly behind our determination of the cause and kind of death for Mr. Epstein. The cause is, the way is suicide.”
