GALLAGHER ON THE EPSTEIN AUTOPSY

REPORTS.

TRACE?

>> YEAH, THE AUTOPSY HAS

DROPPED.

WE'RE BEING TOLD THAT THEY HAVE

RULED, THE MEDICAL EXAMINER, IT

WAS A SUICIDE SAYING THAT

JEFFERY EPSTEIN KILLED HIMSELF

AT 6:30 A.M.

THAT WOULD BE LAST SATURDAY

MORNING AND THAT IT WAS SUICIDE,

THAT HE TIED A BED SHEET TO THE

BUNK IN HIS CELL AND KNELT TO

THE FLOOR.

SO FAR WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY

INFORMATION ABOUT MAYBE

POTENTIALLY HOW HE DID THIS.

ALL IT SAYS IS HE DIED THE BED

SHEET TO THE BUNK AND KNELT TO

THE FLOOR.

THE BIG CONTROVERSY THE PAST

COUPLE DAYS HAS BEEN IF IN FACT

OR HOW IN FACT HE BROKE HIS

HYOID BONE, WHICH IS NEAR THE

ADAM'S APPLE IN MEN.

ACCORDING "THE WASHINGTON POST"

BROKE SEVERAL OTHER BONES.

WE'RE WAITING FOR A HARD COPY SO

WE CAN GO THROUGH IT LINE BY

LINE.

THE HEADLINE IS, THEY'RE RULING

THIS AS A SUICIDE.

THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED THEIR

MIND.

THE QUESTION BECOMES WILL THEY

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AS TO HOW

HE GOT THESE NUMEROUS BROKEN

BONES.

WILL THEY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

OF WHAT HAPPENED ON THE OUTSIDE

OF THE NECK.

WAS IT A STRAIGHT BRUISE OR

VARIOUS BRUISES.

JULY 23, EPSTEIN HAD A NUMBER OF

BRUISES ON HIS NECK.

HE SAID HE WAS BEATEN UP BY A

CELL MATE.

THEY STILL RULED THAT AS

SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS.

THAT'S WHERE THEY PLACED HIM ON

SUICIDE WATCH AND SIX DAYS

LATER, FOR SOME REASON BECAUSE

OF PRESSURE FROM HIS LAWYERS AND

OTHER PROTOCOLS THAT ARE

BAFFLING THE EXPERTS, HE'S TAKEN

OFF OF SUICIDE WATCH AND LAST

WEEK HE WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS

CELL.

THE QUESTION IS HOW HE GOT THE

FORCE TO BREAK THE HYOID BONE.

THAT'S BEEN A MAJOR POINT OF

CONTENTION.

WE TALKED TO DR. WECHT LAST HOUR

WHEN I FILLED IN ON "SHEPARD

SMITH REPORTING."

HE WAS TELLING US THAT TO

ACTUALLY BREAK THE HYOID BONE,

YOU NEED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF

PRESSURE, WHICH IS WHY IT'S MUCH

MORE COMMON, CHARLES, IN

STRANGULATION THAN IT IS IN

SUICIDE.

SO WHAT THEY'RE SAYING HERE IS

WHAT IS THE CIRCUMSTANCE TO HOW

HE GENERATED ENOUGH INFORMATION

TO BREAK THAT BONE IN HIS NECK.

YOU CAN SEE A PICTURE THERE.

DID HE FALL OFF THE BUNK, JUMP

OFF THE BUNK, ROLL OFF THE BUNK?

HOW IS IT THAT HE WAS ABLE TO

GENERATE THE FORCE OF BREAKING

THAT BONE?

WE SHOULD NOTE THAT IN OLDER

PEOPLE THE HYOID BONE DOES BREAK

A BIT MORE EASIER THAN IT DOES

IN YOUNGER PEOPLE.

JEFFERY EPSTEIN, 66 YEARS OLD.

5'11."

DID HE JUMP OFF, COULD HE HAVE

GENERATED ENOUGH FORCE TO

ACTUALLY BREAK THAT.

THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT PEOPLE

ARE ASKING.

FOR NOW, IT APPEARS TO BE A

SETELED MATTER, BECAUSE NOBODY

IS GOING TO ADJUDICATE THIS AND

SAY, OKAY, LET'S GO BACK.

WE WANT ANSWERS.

RIGHT NOW THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S

WORD ON THIS HAS BEEN FINAL.

THEY HAVE RULED THIS AS SUICIDE.

THERE'S AN INVESTIGATION GOING

ON RIGHT NOW IN CONGRESS.

THERE'S AN INTERNAL

INVESTIGATION GOING ON IN THE

PRISON.

THE WARDEN HAS BEEN REASSIGNED.

THE TWO GUARDS THAT WERE THERE,

ONE WASN'T A GUARD, IT WAS A

CORRECTIONALS EMPLOYEE THAT

HAPPENED TO BE HELPING OUT.

THEY WERE APPARENTLY ASLEEP WHEN

THE SUICIDE HAPPENED.

WENT BACK AND TRIED TO FALSIFY

THE DOCUMENTS TO SAY THAT THEY

WERE IN FACT FOLLOWING PROCEDURE

BY CHECKING ON JEFFERY EPSTEIN

EVERY 30 MINUTES.

THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT REMAINS

IS, WHAT HAPPENS NOW.

DO THEY TAKE THIS THING AT FACE

VALUE AND AGREE SUICIDE AND MOVE

ON OR DO THE NUMEROUS ALLEGED

VICTIMS OF JEFFERY EPSTEIN AND

OTHERS WANT TO PURSUE THIS

FURTHER.

THEY WANT TO FIND OUT MORE.

THAT IS WHAT IS YET TO BE SEEN.
