Doctor who ruled Epstein’s death a ‘suicide’ finally speaks out

On August 11, 2019, one day after Epstein was found dead awaiting trial on human trafficking charges, his autopsy was performed by Dr. Kristin Roman, the New York City medical examiner, while Baden, hired by Epstein’s brother Mark, observed it.

While Baden was leaning toward murder, Roman was on the fence, as she didn’t check the “murder” or “suicide” boxes, but instead checked the “pending investigations” box.

However, five days later, Roman’s boss, Sampson, officially ruled the late financier’s death a suicide after “carefully reviewing all investigative information,” without commenting further on her decision.

Sampson’s statement sparked several conspiracy theories, including that Epstein was murdered behind bars as part of a major cover-up. It wasn’t until four years later that it was discovered that Roman finally agreed with her boss, after the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General released its report on the ghoul’s death.
