REPORT OF AUTOPSY
CASE NO.
I hereby certify that I, Kristin Roman, 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
EFTA00063521
JEFFREY EDWARD EPSTEIN Page 4
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, % 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

/ x %", faint, red contusion. Internally, there is a deep muscle hemorrhage of
similar, 12
the left deltoid muscle.
INTERNAL EXAMINATION:

(AUTOPSY PERFORMED BY DR. ROMAN ON 8/11/2019)
MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION (PERFORMED BY DR. FOLKERTH, WITH DR. ROMAN IN
ATTENDANCE, ON 8/20/2019):
The unfixed brain weighs 15209 (expected, 1200-1500g). Examination of the fixed brain (minus
the left occipital pole. removed at the time of autopsy for possible toxicology) shows normal
leptorneninges. 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.
Coronet 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. Kristin Roman 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.

Cricoid

and larynx (anterior view) showing the hone exhibiting a fracture to the left greater

FINDINGS:
Hyoid
The greater horns of the hyoid arc bilaterally fused to the hyoid body. There is a fracture
of the left greater horn (Figures I and 2).
The Forensic Anthropology Unit is accredited in Forensic Inspection under ISO/IEC /7020 issued by ANSI National
Accreditation Board. Refer to certificate and scope ofaccreditation Fb0014.
EFTA00063530
M-I9-19432
Larynx
The thyroid cartilage is almost entirely ossified and the cricoid cartilage is partially
ossified. The thyroid exhibits two fractures: one to the left superior horn and one to the right
superior horn (Figures 1 and 3). The fractures to both the left and right superior horns occur just
superior to the junction with the lamina. The cricoid does not exhibit any fractures.
Figure 3. Microscopic (10x) posterior views of fractures (white circles) to the left and right
superior horns of the thyroid.
SUMMARY:
The hyoid bone exhibits a fracture of the left greater horn. The thyroid exhibits two
fractures: one to the right superior horn and one to the left superior horn.
