Jeffrey Epstein’s brother has come forward asserting that newly revealed autopsy findings will indicate that the disgraced financier was murdered in 2019, challenging the official ruling of suicide. Epstein was found dead by hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while facing sex trafficking charges, as reported by authorities.
Mark, Epstein’s sibling who identified the body, recently stated in an interview that forthcoming details will prove his belief that his brother met foul play in jail. During a NewsNation interview, Mark, aged 71, confidently stated, “Jeffrey was murdered, and additional autopsy evidence expected in February will support this claim.” He described discrepancies in the injuries observed on Epstein’s body and the reported circumstances of his death.
Following Epstein’s demise, Mark enlisted the expertise of former NYC chief medical examiner, Dr. Michael Baden, to review the autopsy conducted by city officials. Dr. Baden’s analysis in 2019 indicated a likelihood of homicide rather than suicide, contrary to official reports attributing Epstein’s death to self-infliction.
Although a 2023 Department of Justice inspector general report highlighted systemic failures in prison oversight contributing to Epstein’s death, it ultimately dismissed external involvement in the incident. However, persistent theories suggest that Epstein’s demise was orchestrated to shield his influential connections.
Mark emphasized during the NewsNation interview, “There are only three possible ways to die in prison: suicide, natural causes, or murder. Jeff was murdered. I seek to uncover the identity of the perpetrator and their motives.”
In a related development, Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her involvement in Epstein’s illicit activities, expressed doubts about Epstein’s alleged suicide. Testifying to deputy attorney general Todd Blanche in 2025, Maxwell indicated her disbelief in Epstein taking his own life and refrained from speculating on the identity of a potential assailant.
Maxwell underscored the dangers within the prison environment, mentioning the ease with which someone could be targeted for a price. She dismissed theories of external involvement in Epstein’s death, suggesting that if foul play were involved, it likely originated internally within the prison system.
Regarding speculations of silencing Epstein through murder, Maxwell maintained that she lacked firsthand knowledge or reason to support such claims. She deemed the notion of external forces orchestrating Epstein’s demise while in custody as implausible, given alternative opportunities for intervention.
Maxwell further pointed out that if Epstein were a target for blackmail or threats, his vulnerability extended beyond his incarceration, making it unlikely that his death was a result of external motives or actions.
