REPORT OF AUTOPSY
CASE NO. M-19-019432
I hereby certify that I,
M,
M.D., City Medical Examiner - II, have performed
an autopsy on the body of Jeffrey Edward Epstein, on the 11 of August 2019,
commencing at 9:21 AM in the Manhattan Mortuary of the Office of Chief Medical
Examiner of the City of New York.
EXTERNAL EXAMINATION:
The body is received in a sealed, labeled, plastic body bag (seal #152384). The body is
of a well-developed, thin, muscular, light skinned, 5'10", 196 lb man whose appearance
is consistent with the given age of 66 years. The scalp hair is wavy, predominantly grey
with interspersed dark hairs, has slight male pattern balding, and measures up to 3".
The facial hair is cleanly shaven. The eyes have light irides. The oral cavity has intact
teeth in good repair. The tongue is free of natural disease. The finger and toenails are
well groomed and free of polish: Striae are on the shoulders. The genitalia are
atraumatic and of a normal, circumcised man. The anus is atraumatic.
POSTMORTEM CHANGES:
There is moderate, symmetric rigor mortis of the upper and lower extremities and the
jaw. Lividity is fixed, purple, and unevenly distributed on the posterior surfaces of the
body. The body is cool.
SCARS:
On the back of the left shoulder is an oblique, 1-1/2", well healed, linear scar. On the
right lower quadrant of the abdomen is an oblique, 2", well healed, linear appendectomy
scar.
THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES:
An endotracheal tube is in the mouth, extending into the upper airway. On the lips are
multiple, focal, red abrasions. A cervical collar encircles the neck. Electrocardiogram
electrodes are on the torso. An intravascular catheter is in the left antecubital fossa. An
intraosseous line is in the right shin. A blood pressure cuff encircles the upper, right
arm.
On the chest between the nipples is a 3" x 3", irregular, yellow abrasion.
Internally, there are minimally hemorrhagic, parasternal, rib fractures of right ribs #4-6
and left ribs # 5-6, approximately 60 ml of liquid blood thinly coating the serosal

surfaces of the intra-abdominal organs, and an oblique, 6.5 cm laceration of the liver to
the left of the falciform ligament (artifacts of resuscitative chest compressions).
CLOTHING:
The body is received clad in a hospital gown.
INJURIES, EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL:
These injuries are described in reference to standard anatomic planes. These injuries
are grouped and labeled for descriptive purposes only; no sequence is implied.
A.
HANGING:
There is a depressed, focally dried and abraded, noncircumferential ligature furrow of
the neck that peaks slightly on both sides of the neck, more steeply on the right side
than on the left. On the right side of the neck, the furrow bifurcates anterior to the ear,
with one arm that peaks behind the right ear and one arm that extends to the right side
of the back of the neck.
On the back of the right side of the neck at the end of the
lower arm of the furrow is a 1/2" x 1", irregular, red abrasion. The furrow ranges from
13-3/4" to 15" long (measured from both ends of the furrow on the right), and ranges
from 1/8" to 1/2" wide. Anteriorly, the furrow passes over the thyroid cartilage. On the
upper edge of the right side of the furrow beneath the chin is an adjacent, 'A x 1",
inverted V-shaped, linear abrasion that ranges in width from 1/8" to 1/4". Beneath the
left side of the mandible is a faint, 1/2" x 1-3/4", irregular, red abrasion with multiple,
interspersed, deeper, red abrasions that measure up to' x 3/8".
The face and head are plethoric above the furrow, with petechial hemorrhages of the
face that are most marked within the eyebrows.
There are multiple, petechial
hemorrhages of the palpebral conjunctivae of both eyes, and confluent hemorrhages on
the periphery of the right bulbar conjunctiva. There are faint petechial hemorrhages on
the mucosal surfaces of the upper and lower lips.
Within the parenchyma of the tongue are multiple, focal, spotty, purple hemorrhages.
There is diffuse, purple hemorrhage at the base of the tongue.
There are no
hemorrhages of the anterior strap muscles of the neck. Posteriorly, there is a single
hemorrhage in the left, deep, paraspinal muscles.
Both thyroid cartilage cornuae are fractured, and the left cornua of the hyoid bone is
fractured, all with accompanying soft tissue hemorrhages. See also "Anthropology
Report." There are no fractures of the cervical vertebrae.
B. OTHER INJURIES:
On the back of the left forearm is an oblique, 1", linear, red, abrasion with an adjacent,
1/2" x 1-1/4", faint, red abrasion. On the medial aspect of the back of the right wrist is a
1/8" x 1/2", faint, red contusion, and on the medial aspect of the back of the left wrist is a

ON 811112019)
MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION (PERFORMED BY DR.
WITH DR.
IN
ATTENDANCE, ON 8120/2019):
The unfixed brain weighs 1520g (expected, 1200-1500g). Examination of the fixed brain (minus
the left occipital pole, removed at the time of autopsy for possible toxicology) shows normal
leptomeninges. No contusions, stigmata of herniation, or other surface abnormalities are seen.
External brainstem landmarks and cranial nerves are normal. Vessels at the base are distributed
normally, and have no atherosclerosis. The cerebellum is normal.
Coronal sections of the cerebral hemispheres reveal normal cortical ribbon, white matter, and deep
gray nuclei. There is no midline shift. Hippocampi are symmetrical and of normal volume.
Ventricles are normal in size and appearance.
Axial sections of the brainstem and cerebellum en bloc show the substantia nigra and locus
ceruleus to be well-pigmented. The aqueduct and fourth ventricle are normal. Cerebellar cortex,
white matter, and dentate are normal.
Cranial dura from the convexities, tentorium, and base shows falcine ossification (comment:
common age-related finding). The venous sinuses and tributary (bridging) veins are patent.
Spinal cord and dura from upper cervical to cauda equine levels show no abnormality, externally
or on midsagittal section.

ANTHROPOLOGY
BACKGROUND:
On 12 August 2019, the Forensic Anthropology Unit received a hyoid and larynx that
were removed by Dr.
during the autopsy of a 66-year-old male and submitted for
a trauma analysis. The hyoid was cleaned in warm water and a combination of sodium
bicarbonate and enzyme detergent. The larynx was placed in formalin and the soft tissues of the
thyroid and cricoid were manually removed to facilitate examination. The specimens were
examined radiographically, macroscopically and microscopically.

Case Synopsis
The decedent is a 66-year-old White male prison inmate who was found hung by the neck
within his cell and was later pronounced dead at the hospital ED despite resuscitative efforts.
The NOK does not object to an autopsy. PMH information is pending on receipt of the correction
facility medical health services records.
Subiective Findings
As per Dr.
of the ED at New York Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital
on 08/10/2019 EMS found the decedent to be in cardiac arrest and with ligature markings of the
neck following an unknown "down" time at the Metropolitan Correction Center (MCC). The
decedent was intubated and was given epinephrine x 4 and bicarbonate x2 along with CPR.
ACLS was continued at the ED. The decedent was given an additional epinephrine x 1 and
bicarbonate x 1. However, the decedent was in asystole by cardiac monitor and in cardiac
standstill by ultrasound. He was pronounced dead at 07:36 hours. Ligature markings of the neck
were observed by Dr.=
in the ED as well as by EMS. However, no ligature material was
observed by either EMS or by Dr.
in the ED. No bloods were drawn and no fentanyl was
administered in the ED or by EMS.
Dr.
was instructed to submit to OCME a completed ME Clinical Summary Worksheet the
EMS ACR, and the ED Notes. These were received except the ACR. An email was sent to
Evidence Request with cc's to Evidence Pickups and OCME Tour Commanders requesting that
the ACR be obtained.
The undersigned was accompanied by
Deputy Director of Forensic
Investi•ations and O erations, for a MLI scene investi ation. FBI Special Agen
(unknown contact info.),
•

76318054. He was placed in a cell on 07/07/2019, but was moved for psychology evaluation
Page 1 of 3
EFTA00130100
07/08/2019 - 07/10/2019. His psychologist was IM
(unknown contact). He was
then moved to the Special Housing Unit (SHU) from 07/10/2019 - 07/23/2019. However, on
07/23/2019 the decedent attempted suicide by
hanging. In the early morning hours this date the decedent's cellmate, inmate Tartaglione, was
awakened by a sound and saw the decedent. He started banging on the cell door to alert the
corrections officers
responded at 01:27 hours and observed the
decedent to be either seated or laying in a fetal position on the cell floor (unclear history) with a
"loose homemade noose" around his neck made from a torn orange bedsheet. At this time the
decedent was found to have erythema around two-thirds of the circumference of his neck, two
inches wide, with sparing of the back of the neck. There were also some "friction marks". The
decedent was transferred to Suicide Watch from 07/23/2019 - 07/29/2019. He was transferred to
the SHU again on 07/29/2019 where he remained until the DOD. He was in cell # 206 originally
this last time'in SHU, but was switched to cell # 220 at an unknown date and time. The decedent
had a cellmate, inmate Reyes. However, on the morning of 08/09/2019 inmate Reyes went to
court and was released through the court. No cell mate was present at the time of the incident
leading to the decedent's death.
Information was taken from
and Captain
regarding this incident. Regular
rounds of the inmate cells are conducted by the corrections officers every 30 minutes, but no
longer than at 40-minute intervals. It is unknown when the decedent was last seen alive pending
interview of MCC personnel. On the morning of 08/10/2019 at 06:33 hours during these regular
rounds Officer Michael Thomas found the decedent hung by the neck within his cell # 220.
However, the location within the cell and the position of the decedent are unknown pending
interview of MCC personnel. Office
removed" the decedent from an unknown fixed
object and placed him on the cell floor. The officer started CPR. In the meantime Operations Lt.
and RN
entered the cell.
took over performing CPR and
the decedent was taken to the Medical Health Services area. EMS arrived and took over care for
the decedent there.
Scene Investigations/ Details
The scene was within the decedent's cell, # 220 on Tier L of the SHU within the MCC. Of the
scene photos INV-Scene 003 depicts the sealed cell door to # 220. Photo 004 depicts a straight-
ahead view from the now opened cell door. Photo 005 represents the left side of the room.
Beyond the right-sided wall of Photo 004 the right side of the room can be viewed in Photo 009.
There is bedding material strewn in the middle of the floor including a mattress, presumably from
the top bunk, and orange blanket and sheets. There was a CPAP machine on the floor with an
electric cord reportedly provided by the MCC staff at bedtime - 22:00 hours and plugged into an
outlet to the right outside of the cell door. Adjacent to the toilet and sink is a small table and stool
on the right side of the cell. There was a handwritten note. It was not a suicide note, but it's
content vented frustration about conditions and experiences at the facility. There was a bunk
bed. The mattress was removed and personal items were kept on the top bunk. Amongst these
were medications and supplements including Vitamin C 500 mg, Tolnaftate Cream 1%, Vascepa
Omega 3, two boxes of Acetaminophen 500 mg which were both sealed closed, Multivitamins, a
sealed container of Milk of Magnesia, Methylprednisolone 4 mg Dosepak also sealed, and
Docusate Sodium 100 mg. The bottom bunk had rumpled up orange bedding. There were strips
of orange cloth presumably from the bedding located in different spots in the room. Included
amongst these was what appeared to be a makeshift clothesline tied between the bunk bed
Page 2 of 3
EFTA00130101
posts with a pair of orange underpants hung from it. Measurements of the bunk bed set are as
follows: The height from the floor to the top bunk was - 58.5 inches. The length of the bed set
was - 79.5 inches. The width across each bed (Photo 052 depicts the bottom bunk mattress)
was — 25 inches. Photo 049 shows the heights of the rungs of the ladder to the top bunk.
RN
of the Medical Health Services arrived to the scene and presented the
AED with defibrillator pads used on the decedent along with the "ligature", which appears to be a
stripped piece of an orange bed sheet.
As per RN
the AED revealed no shockable rhythm on the decedent. The ligature was
collected by the undersigned and entered into the evidence locker cage at 421 E. 26th Street in
Manhattan.
As peal.=
he was made aware by MCC staff that when the decedent's cellmate
Reyes left it is believed that some of the items in the cell may have been his which were not
removed. •

Additional Information
As per Nick
confirmed that the decedent's NOK, his brother, Mark Epstein
was notified of the decedent's death. The undersigned called the brother and
discussed OCME policy and procedure with regard to a ME case. He does not object to an
autopsy, however, he has requested to have present a private independent physician
(pathologist) as a second opinion for the findings at the OCME autopsy. Dr.
has
agreed to allow this as a courtesy to the family with the following conditions: The physician must
be a Forensic Pathologist. He/She must arrive to OCME at 520 First Avenue in Manhattan before
or by 09:00 on 08/11/2019. He/She must sign observer disclaimer paperwork and provide a DNA
sample. Mark Epstein was made aware of this and he understood. He was instructed to call
OCME with his choice of the private pathologist beforehand. He was provided with the
Manhattan OCME office address, telephone number, and the decedent's OCME case number.
He expressed that following completion of the autopsy he intends to have the decedent's body
shipped to Florida. The visual identification process was also discussed with the brother.
Note: The decedent's cell at MCC is being held pending the preliminary autopsy results. It is
requested that the assigned ME discuss the preliminary autopsy findings with FBI Special Agent
Disposition: ME Case/Hospital with MLI Scene Investigation.

Notes: 'case note entered late' I placed a call to the family's attorney, Stacey Richman, at S
to Inform her that I would like to
contact the decedent's brother, Mark Epstein, to tell him the cause and manner of death. She asked for my desk number, and then she called
him, called me back, and the three of us had a discussion about the cause and manner of death. I told Mr. Epstein that I wanted to talk to him
about this before I amended the death cellificate. We had a very long and detailed phone conversation, as they had many questions for me
about how I reached the determination.

Report Date: 08/1012019
Report Time: 08:31
Borough: Manhattan
Notes: At 1230 on 8/16/19, Dr.
and I responded to 26 Federal Plaza to meet with Video Communications Specialist (VCS)
of the FBI Multimedia Exploitation Unit. There we watched a short video surrounding the timeframe of the
19
lied 160 SW2-80 and dated 08/10/19, however we were informed the actual camera name was 116 L South. Per
VCS Coleman, the video we watched came from the camera located near the upper level office (upper tier opposite side of the room from
where Epstein's cell was located). The video captured areas outside the upper level office, some of the guard common area, and what
appeared to be a small section of the staircase leading to the upper tier where Epstein's cell was located. The upper tier and cell where
Epstein's cell was located could not be seen in the video. The video was blurry and the identity of the person(s) in
the video were indiscernible.

On August 12, 2019,
, was interviewed at 290 Broadway New
York, NY. Present at the interview were FBI Special Agent
FBI Special Agen
Office of the Inspector General Special Agent
and Assistant United States
Attorney (AUSA)
After being advised of the identity of the interviewing Agents and
AUSA and the nature of the interview
provided the following information:
has worked at MCC for 17 years.
was promoted to Lieutenant in 2014 or 2015=
works approximately 16 hours a day, 6 days a week. As part of his operational duties=s
responsible for running the building, supervising core staff, and handling situations that come up with
the inmates.
The hierarchy within MCC is as follows: Warden, Associate Warden, Captain and Lieutenant. There are
GS-11 Lieutenants and GS-9 Lieutenants. GS-11 Lieutenants supervise GS-9 Lieutenants. Lt.l= is a GS-
11 Lieutenant. Corrections Officers (CO) are below GS-9 Lieutenants.
The Special Housing Unit (SHU) has its own lieutenant. The SHU lieutenant is responsible for handling
any problems that arise within SHU to include issues with staff as wellas inmates. If there are no
problems, the SHU lieutenant does not have to check in all the time. However, the SHU lieutenant must
sign in to the SHU signature log at some point during his or her shift.
MCC staff are required to fill out 30 minute check in sheets. The time of the check and the signature of
the CO who conducted the check are documented on the check in sheet. The times are not always
exactly 30 minutes apart to prevent inmates from learning a pattern of when the CO will come by.
COs must also conduct and official count which is different from the 30 minute check in. The official
count is conducted at 10pm, 12am, 3am, and Sam. A signed count sheet certifies that rounds were
made and each inmate was in his cell at that time. On weekend days, there is a 10am count where
inmates are required to stand up in their cells during the count. ()tiring the week, the 10pm count
requires COs to ensure the inmate moves. A Lieutenant has to be present for at least one of the 12am,
3am or Sam counts.
Both the check in sheets and the count sheets are kept for 30 days in a binder. An n sheet is kept in the
control center and has the inmates count as well as each inmate's physical location. The 5 sheet must
match the count sheet. The CO who conducts the count must call in to the control center to report the
number and a Lieutenant can only sign off on the count sheet when the number on the count sheet
matches the number on the IN sheet.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN (EPSTEIN, previously identified) was housed in SHU. EPSTEIN met with his lawyers
everyday between 8am and 8pm on the third floor of MCC.
was not present when EPSTEIN was first placed on suicide watch on July 23, 2019. MI knew
EPSTEIN was on suicide watch because EPSTEIN was wearing a smock and only inmates who are on
suicide watch wear smocks.Miwas also not present when the decision to remove EPSTEIN from
suicide watch was made.
According to, policy, when an inmate in taken off of suicide watch he is placed on psychological
observation for a period of time before he can be placed back in either SHU or in the general population.
Regardless of whether or not an inmate is on suicide watch or under psychological evaluation
EFTA00130111
observation, the inmate is required to have a "bunkie" or a cellmate. This is well known and considered

elieved Lt.
another GS-11 Lieutenant at
MCC, at 5:30am on Saturday August 10, 2019.
was in his office on the 3w floor from 5:30am until
approximately 6:33am when he heard a call for a medical emergency on the 9th floor
mediately
went to the 9th floor. EPSTEIN's cell was the first cell to the right of the elevator. Whe
arrived at
EPSTEIN's cell, he saw two COs, Officer
and Officer
EPSTEIN was lying down on two
mattresses on the floor of the cell. Officer...was next to EPSTEIN's body attempting to administer
CPR. Officer
was standing by the entrance to the cell and told
"EPSTEIN hung himself."...
pushed Office
off of EPSTEIN and continued CPRIMIasked for someone to get an AED
call for the Duty Nurse. The Duty Nurse arrived and took over administering CPR to EPSTEINew a
noose fabricated out of bed sheets but could not recall if the noose was around EPSTEIN's neck or on
the ground next to the body.
took photos of EPSTEIN's cell on a BOP camera.
Officer
stated "we didn't do rounds at 3am and 5am." Officer
said he told Officer
it
was not her fault and "We didn't do the rounds. We messed up." The 3am and 5am rounds to which
Officer
referred would have been the count rounds. If the rounds were not completed there should
not be any signed count slips associated with those times. If there were signed count slips it would mean
the slips were falsified. If the count is not done, the rounds sheet, which-is filled out every 30 min, also
cannot be completed. At the end of the shift, the supervising Lieutenant signs and sends the completed
log of the inmates' movements from the day.
There were several pill bottles on the top bunk in EPSTEIN's cell. Inmates typically put some of their
belongings on the top bunk when they do not have a cellmate. LIM
asked OfficerMWhere's his
bunkie at?" to which Officer
responded "he doesn't have a bunkie."

It is possible vas
aware EPSTEIN no longer had a "bunkie."
MCC personnel receive annual refresher training regarding policy and procedure. The topics of inmates
having a cellmate as well as how and when to conduct the count and complete rounds are covered in
