一位备受尊敬的法医病理学家在审查了所有证据后对《Metro》杂志表示：“尸检报告表明，他的死亡更像是搏斗的结果，而非自杀。”
’s autopsy files show his death was more consistent with a struggle and not suicide, a respected forensic pathologist told Metro after reviewing the evidence.
这位名叫迈克尔·弗里曼（Michael Freeman）的医生是伦敦皇家病理学院的成员。在收到爱泼斯坦（Epstein）的兄弟马克（Mark）提供的完整医疗记录后，他将会发布一份关于这位已故金融家死因的独立报告。
Dr Michael Freeman, fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in London will publish an independent report about the late financier’s death after he was given the complete medical examiner’s file by Epstein’s brother, Mark.
在下次公开演讲中公布自己的调查结果之前，弗里曼对《Metro》杂志表示，当初将爱泼斯坦的死因认定为自杀“存在问题”。他指出了诸如指甲上的痕迹等证据——这些痕迹似乎表明爱泼斯坦在搏斗或遭受攻击的过程中试图挣脱束缚。
Ahead of a bombshell talk revealing his findings next month, Freeman told Metro the suicide determination was ‘problematic’. He pointed to evidence such as fingernail marks which allegedly showed Epstein tried to get the ligature off in a ‘potential struggle’ or assault.
弗里曼曾担任伦敦皇家内科医学院的法医学与法律医学系主任，他表示：“有很多现象无法用自杀导致的绞死方式来解释，反而更符合搏斗的情景。”
Dr Freeman, who previously served as chair of forensic and legal medicine with the Royal College of Physicians, told‘There are lots of things that are not explained by a suicidal hanging, but are consistent with potentially a struggle.
“他的身上有一些伤痕，绝对不可能是由绳索造成的。”这位病理学家计划在下个月于伦敦大学学院法律系举办的活动中公布完整的医疗记录（其中包含一些未公开的部分）。

爱泼斯坦于2019年8月10日在曼哈顿的大都会惩教中心（Metropolitan Correctional Center）被发现时已经失去意识；当时他正在等待审判。据看守人员描述，他们发现他呈半坐姿，脖子上缠着一条橙色的布条。
The pathologist will be releasing the complete medical file, including portions not public, after his talk at a University College London law-faculty event next month. Epstein was found unresponsive in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on August 10, 2019, while he was awaiting trial.
纽约首席法医办公室最初将他的死因判定为自杀，这一结论后来得到了美国司法部（Department of Justice）和联邦调查局（FBI）的调查结果的支持。
A guard said they discovered him hanging with an orange-coloured strip of material around his neck in a near-seated position. New York chief medical examiner’s office ruled his death a suicide, which was later backed up by a review from the Department of Justice in 2023 and FBI findings.
弗里曼表示，自己是首位在自杀结论作出后全面审查所有证据（包括所有尸检报告）的法医病理学家。这位顶尖病理学家指出：“爱泼斯坦的死亡情况在所有关于自杀性绞死的案例中都是独一无二的。”
Dr Freeman says he is the first person trained in forensic pathology who has reviewed all the evidence, including the entire autopsy files, since the suicide determination. The top pathologist told that Epstein’s ‘death was completely unique in the annals of suicidal hanging descriptions’.
弗里曼博士表示，自杀判定“有问题”（ 。他被从悬挂位置放下来之后，也没有照片。”
Dr Freeman says the suicide determination is ‘problematic’ (Picture: Kelly James) He claimed: ‘We had no picture of him suspended.
弗里曼博士认为，警卫对发现爱泼斯坦位置的描述“可信”，因此他说自己的重点是：“爱泼斯坦身上的所有伤痕，是否都可能由他被发现时的悬挂场景造成？”
There was no picture of him after he was taken down from the suspension.’Dr Freeman believes the guard’s description of the position where he found Epstein was ‘credible’, so he said his focus was: ‘Could all of the [Epstein’s] injuries have been caused by the hanging scenario in which he was found?’
他得出结论：“有一些非常显著的矛盾之处，以及法医检查结果没有得到充分解释的地方。”这位专家表示，爱泼斯坦除了缢沟痕之外，还有多处伤痕，包括左肩和颈后部。
He has concluded there are ‘some very notable inconsistencies and areas where there is not adequate explanation of what the medical examiner found.’The expert said Epstein had a number of injuries aside from the ligature marks, including on his left shoulder and behind his neck.
他补充说：“他身上的有些伤痕不可能是缢索造成的，而且他脸上的伤痕明显不是心肺复苏抢救造成的。”“他们尝试抢救时，他已经死亡好几个小时了。”
He added: ‘He had injuries that could not possibly have been caused by a ligature, and he had facial injuries that were clearly not caused by resuscitation efforts. ‘He had been dead for hours by the time they tried to resuscitate him.’
弗里曼博士与一个研究团队合作，他表示有证据“可能指向挣扎、袭击”。他声称：“我在演讲中将指出的其中一点，是缢沟痕上方似乎有指甲抓痕。”
Dr Freeman, who worked with a team of researchers, said there was evidence that aligned ‘potentially with a struggle, an assault.’He claimed: ‘One of the things that I will point out during my lecture will be the presence of what appear to be fingernail marks above the ligature mark.
“这与他自己的指甲痕迹相符，是试图把缢索解开时留下的。”弗里曼博士表示，这些信息甚至还不是“最劲爆的内容”，真正的重磅将在下个月的讲座中公布。
‘That would be consistent with his own fingernail marks, trying to get the ligature off.’Dr Freeman said this information was not even ‘the good stuff’, which will come out during the talk next month.
杰弗里·爱泼斯坦死后其牢房的原状（ 全世界自行判断。他解释说：“法医不希望自己的工作被重新审视。”
How Jeffrey Epstein’s cell was left after his death (Picture: Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, City of New York) The pathologist acknowledged that ‘there’ll be people who are going to disagree’ with him, but he was releasing the autopsy files publicly to let the world judge for themselves. He explained: ‘Medical examiners don’t want to have their work looked at again.
与此同时，这就意味着所有人都无法回头说：“我们能不能再仔细看看这件事？”科学指的是那些能够被证明、能够被重复验证的内容。这正是我关注的重点。
‘Meanwhile, that leaves everybody without recourse to go back and say, “Can we have a second look at this?”Science is what you can prove, what is replicable, what’s reproducible. That is what I’m focused on.
“因此，杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的身份实际上更多只是一个干扰因素，因为这件事引发了太多关注。”弗里曼博士表示，他对围绕爱泼斯坦死因的争论和阴谋论“没有自己的看法”。
‘So the fact it is Jeffrey Epstein is actually more of a nuisance factor because there’s so much interest in it.’Dr Freeman said he has ‘no opinions’ about the debate and conspiracies surrounding Epstein’s death.
马克·爱泼斯坦兄弟表示，法医专家们已经研究了数月证据（ 。当被问及弗里曼博士的批评时，纽约法医办公室表示，“办公室仍然坚持其自杀的判断”。
Brother Mark Epstein said the pathologists have studied the evidence for months (Picture: Owen Hoffmann/PMC) The New York Medical Examiner told their ‘office stands by the determination’ of suicide after they were asked about Dr Freeman’s criticisms.
爱泼斯坦的兄弟马克·爱泼斯坦此前曾表示，这份报告将“改变游戏规则”。
Epstein’s brother Mark Epstein previously told the report will be ‘game-changing’.
他说，这个独立团队已经“数月来对尸检结果进行了严谨的研究”，并将相关证据与自杀和谋杀案的尸检结果进行了比较。
He said the independent group has been ‘properly studying the autopsy results for months’, comparing the evidence against autopsies of suicides and murders.
这位弟弟——也是向委员会提供杰弗里尸检报告的人——补充道：“他们并非受我委托进行这项工作。我也没有为此支付任何费用。”
The younger brother – who gave the panel Jeffrey’s autopsy reports – added: ‘They are not doing this on my behalf. I am not paying for this.’
