Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers say they are “not satisfied” with the autopsy results from the New York City Medical Examiner’s office. The office concluded on Aug. 16 that the accused sex trafficker died by suicide.

The official ruling was made six days after Epstein was found unresponsive in his jail cell at the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson said in a brief statement that the conclusion was reached, in part, “after careful review of all investigative information, including complete autopsy findings.”
