What are they waiting for? Toxicology?
Via BNO:
An autopsy was carried out on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on Sunday, but the cause and manner of his death are “pending further information,” New York City’s chief medical examiner says. Epstein was being held on federal sex trafficking charges.
“Today, a medical examiner performed the autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein. The ME’s determination is pending further information at this time,” Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson said in a statement. Other details were not immediately released.
Sampson said a private pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, was allowed to observe the autopsy at the request of those representing Epstein. “This is routine practice,” she said, adding that federal prosecutors were aware of Baden’s attendance.
But while a formal determination has not yet been made, multiple people briefed on the investigation said suicide remains the presumed manner of death, according to NBC News. The ongoing FBI investigation will allow the coroner’s office to make a determination with complete confidence, the network said.
