NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — An unidentified injection site on the arm of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is fueling conspiracy theories about whether or not he committed suicide.
Some claim the injection site spotted in autopsy photos suggest Epstein was possibly drugged.
Other injuries to the wrist area noted in the autopsy report suggest Epstein may have “fought for his life.” The body had bruises on both wrists and on a left forearm. There was deep muscle hemorrhaging in his left shoulder muscle.
There was a significant abrasion on the back of his neck, not consistent with the hanging. He had a cut on his lip to suggest being struck. There was also an unidentified injection site on his arm to suggest being drugged, reports Funker530.
Another abnormality in Epstein’s death is the noose believed used during his alleged suicide. Prison officials claim the billionaire was “cut down” after being found hanging in his cell, however, autopsy photos of the noose showed no apparent cut marks, conversely showing a neat, folded and undisturbed trim.
Epstein was found in his cell semi-conscious with marks on his neck late in July while he was at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.
Federal prosecutors said surveillance footage gathered from outside Jeffrey Epstein‘s jail cell of during his alleged suicide attempt in July went missing.
“Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Swergold admitted nobody can find the footage of the outside of the cell the multimillionaire perv shared with accused quadruple murderer Nick Tartaglione during a hearing in White Plains District Court,” The New York Daily News reported. “Tartaglione, a former Briarcliff Manor cop, faces the death penalty for the alleged murders in a drug deal gone bad.”
“I don’t know the details of how it was lost or destroyed or why it wasn’t retained when it should have been,” Tartaglione lawyer Bruce Barket said in court. “It is on the surface troubling. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve found out more details,” reports DailyWire.
Two sources told NBC News at the time that they believed that the marks were from an apparent suicide attempt while a third source suggested that Epstein could have staged the attack to get a transfer to another facility.
However, a fourth source told NBC News that “an assault hadn’t been ruled out and that another inmate in Epstein’s unit, identified by sources as Nicholas Tartaglione, had been questioned.”
Epstein was found dead in his jail cell just a couple of weeks later on August 10 in an incident that was ruled a suicide but instantly sparked questions and conspiracy theories about the nature of Epstein’s death.
