Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Says February Autopsy Report Will “Confirm” the Sex Offender Was Murdered

Mark Epstein continues to claim he has evidence that will prove his brother, Jeffrey Epstein, was murdered.

Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker, was found dead by hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York on Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide. Mark Epstein identified his brother’s body.

As speculation surrounding Jeffrey’s death grew, Mark hired former New York City chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden, who said at the time that the “evidence points to homicide rather than suicide.”

In June 2023, however, the FBI and the Department of Justice concluded there was no credible evidence of foul play, according to a DOJ report.

Despite those findings, Mark has remained skeptical. In July 2025, he told NBC News, “More and more, I believe he was murdered. And everyone who looks at all the information that’s out there on facts comes to the same conclusion.”

Mark reiterated those claims during an appearance on NewsNation Now on Friday, Jan. 9, alleging once again that Jeffrey was murdered and that “more autopsy facts will be coming out in February that prove it.” He also claimed that the injuries he observed on his brother’s body “didn’t correspond to the way his body was found hanging.”

“There are only three ways to die in prison,” Mark said. “Suicide, natural causes or murder. And Jeff was murdered. I want to know who killed him and on whose behalf?”

Mark further alleged that previous investigations into Jeffrey’s death were part of a “cover-up.” “Why the charade?” he asked. “Who are they trying to protect?”

Meanwhile, Mark has dismissed comments made by Jeffrey’s longtime confidante, Ghislaine Maxwell, who said in August 2025 that she did not “see” Jeffrey’s murder happening, though she acknowledged it was “of course” possible.

“But I don’t know of any reason why, and I don’t believe in the blackmail or in any of this,” Maxwell said at the time. “I don’t think Epstein had a hit on like that. If it is indeed murder, I believe it was an internal situation.”

In his interview with NewsNation Now, Mark said he “wouldn’t trust anything” Maxwell says, adding that she “never saw the body or talked to Jeff before he died.”

Mark has also made additional allegations in recent months. In a Nov. 18 phone interview with NewsNation, he claimed an unnamed source told him that the names of conservative politicians were being removed from the Epstein files to prevent Republicans from being incriminated.

Two days later, he alleged on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront that President Donald Trump deliberately delayed the release of the Epstein files.

Mark further claimed that his brother possessed incriminating information about Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign — information he said was damaging enough to “cancel the election.”

“He didn’t tell me what he knew,” Mark said, “but Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump.”
