cyril wecht. great to see you. >> good evening. >> gregg: o there is a great del of talk that epstein suffered hyoid fracture, right around the adam's apple area. but i want to caution our viewers, that is only from sources to "the washington post," which broke that story. we haven't heard that from the medical examiner herself. so that, i mean, it would be important to know a, that is confirmed. b, what i imagine the nature of that fracture. >> yes. it's my understanding that no details have been released. we are just simply told what the medical examiner's conclusions were. vis-a-vis, cause of death, hanging, manner of death suicide. i'd need to see all the details. let me say this. if this is a leaning into kind of a hanging, notng someone hurling himself from the top bunk, but if he were for example, maybe sitting on thee lower bunk, or kneeling by there, and no evidence of his having been on the top bunk and hurling himself off, then there is no velocity, there iso no force imparted to that scenario. leaning forward, in my opi

wecht pointed out both sides of the coin in the medical evidence.ut there was no filmed or witnessed inside the cell. we don't know if he jumped from the top of the bunk or he merely leaned over in a forceful way. we don't know that. so to change a suicide to a homicide in this respect, you are going to have to have a witness or you'll have to have a film of the act or a participant in the act to come forward. so, we know nobody entered the cell. so, he did not die at the hands of another. we certainly don't know the toxicology yet. but if they are going to rule it a suicide i would say that there is no drugs in his suicide that would make him compliant or unconscious so somebody could stage the scene. so that is a huge bar to change it from a suicide or implicate it was a homicide. >> sean: al >> all right. so where does the case go now? it's possible cocosponnors could be charged. ghislaine maxwell has been identified a the madam that coordinated this. she knows where to find a good burger. the question is does she know where to find a good crimin

wecht. i spoke to a top, surgeon who said multiple factions in the neck are more consistent -- not definitive but more consistent with homicidal's regulation that with hanging. and the you hyoid bone, i don't want to be too technical, as you get older, the chances of breaking that hyoid bone right around the adam's apple, as trees pointed out, goes up with hanging but it is still far more common with just regular, homicidal's regulation. we don't know yet. we don't have enough information. we don't know if the doors open. we don't know what happened to the arteries in the neck. we don't know where they fractures in the neckwear. we need more information. were there bruises on the body? these things have to come out and they have to come out in the final report. homicide in my opinion has been added to the possibilities here, and that is deeply disturbing. >> jason: my understanding, doctor, is that the autopsy was done days ago. aren't they going to know at the end of that -- maybe i was wat

cyril wecht iss skeptical about how epstein generating enough force to break several bones. watch.ac >> the nature of the hanging, no jumping, no falling through a floor like an execution, and no jumping from the top of a step ladder. there is no velocity. where does the force come from? >> remember, on july 23rd, epstein was found with bruises on his neck and claimed he was beaten up and choked by his cellmate. autopsy was completed sunday but the cause of death is still pending. it's important to point out the guards ignored epstein for hours, so he could have been hanging for a while. but, in 2008, a maryland teenager accused of killing a police officer died of an apparent suicide in jail, but two days later, the cause of death was changed to homicide because the medical examiner found the teen had a broken anhyoid. no one was charged with the teen's death and it remains a mystery. >> jason: interesting, trace.th. joining me dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine at nyu and a fox news contributor. doctor, i've heard you many times on fox and i appreciate your reporting. g
