These "expert v expert" pieces are exhausting. It's never been easier to do some background research before taking these interviews, and spinning a bunch of statements that all basically boil down to "this is unusual, but not impossible" into dramatically different claims is weakhttps://twitter.com/NYTMetro/status/1189528562921082880 …

Not to belabor the point, but some news outlets mentioned a study that found hyoid fractures in 25% of 20 hangings — in actuality, it was 15%, and *none* of those fractures were apparent on visual examination; all of them required the use of a microscope https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/e79e/8aa51c1254fef2a55e6b8cd567b19223f6b8.pdf?_ga=2.145539319.2140751718.1572471604-739792712.1572471604 …

This... this does not look like a fracture you'd need a microscope to notice https://www.foxnews.com/us/jeffrey-epstein-autopsy-report-released-photos-bone-fracture …pic.twitter.com/Z9ebJoywxW

I don't want to play armchair medical expert here, just noting that *anyone* who tries to understand this on their own is going to eventually feel disappointed at best, misled at worst when it comes to the media coverage

For the sake of completeness, for anyone who's updating on this — though that study was small, it did find that "incomplete" hanging (body not fully suspended) & advanced age seem to be major determining factors re: fracture from hanging. And those *were* Epstein's circumstances
