And the hyoid bone, now as you get older, i dont want to be too technical, but as you get older, the chances of breaking that hyoid bone right around the adams apple, as trace pointed out, goes up with hanging, but it is still far more common with just regular homicidal strangulation. we dont know yet. we dont have enough information. we dont know if the door was open. we dont know what happened to the arteries in the neck. we dont know where they fractures in the neck were. we need more informa...

If someone is hanging for two or three hours, if youre older, 66 years old, jeffery epstein could that potential lead to a break in the hyoid bone the longer you hang there, the more brittle your bones become. is that a fair assessment, dr. wecht? >> no. the length of time hanging, unless the body is moving with wind or so on from the outside. but if you are just left hanging, that lapse of time is not going to add any fractures. there will be no movement of the body obviously. theres no wind fa...

Just have pain with range of motion from your neck from left to right and have pain with swallowing. having a broken hyoid doesnt kill you. did he have it all along and now its being picked up on his autopsy? >> trace: right. i want to jump in here. the daily beast is reporting and were waiting for an actual copy of the autopsy. the daily beast said a person familiar with the investigation said the marks were not left by a rope but instead looked lake those from fabric, which is connecticco cons...

"the washington post" reporting today that the autopsy has been performed. dr. marc siegel, doctor of medicine and fox news contributor, good morning to y you. i know you have also speak into sources that are close, go ahead and tell us right now what we can expect. >> starting with the point about whether it was a strangling or a suicide, which is what is coming out right now, the hyoid bone in the neck is fractured. other fractures in the neck make it more likely, and again, this is a percenta...

Bone, including one near his adams apple. dr. sanjay gupta is with us. the southern district of new york announced the indictment of epstein earlier this summer. the autopsy raises new questions about epsteins death. are these fractures inconsistent with a suicide by hanging? >> no, i dont think this is inconsistent with that at all. what a lot of people have made mention of is this fracture of the bone called the high yoid bone. if you run your finger along the jaw, the first hard thing you fee...

To strangulation at the hands of someone else. here is dr. marc siegel about earlier today on "americas newsroom." >> the hyoid bone, other fractures and then next make it more likely -- and again, this is a percentage call. more likely that it was a homicide then a suicide, but i can be both. it can be either, really. homicide or suicide. it hasnt been confirmed. i am now more suspicious than ever that this could be homicide. >> bill, good morning, we are still waiting for the release of jeffre...

The hyoid bone, it is less likely to actually break bones in the neck whereas by hanging someone can break both the hyoid bone and other bones in the neck. so none of these factors in isolation give you a complete story, but that gives it a little bit of context here. >> but sanjay, it would be the autopsy, right, that tells us definitively or is it not always so definitive exactly how he died? meaning can an autopsy determine the difference between someone being strangled and someone who hangs ...

Is strangled. it can also fracture when somebody dies by hanging as well. it happens in both cases, i dont think it makes a clear impression one way or the other. the other part of what you said, he had these fractures in his neck, one could argue that could happen in either situation too. perhaps thats more likely to happen from hanging or drop hanging. theres a fracture of these bones. we dont know if that was the type of fracture he had, i dont think by this limited information you could draw...

[crash] what?! haha, it happens. and if youve got cut-rate car insurance, paying for this could feel like getting robbed twice. so get allstate... and be better protected from mayhem... like me. ♪ his >> greg: serious new questis being raised about how jeffrey epstein died. a new report, deepening by revealing that the sex offender had broken bones in his neck, including one which could point to suicide, but is also common in victims of this regulation. >> other fractures in the next, make it ...

Other fractures, including the top ring of the trachea, located beneath the adams apple because that is even rarer, with only one case out of 239 having been reported. we have to wait and see the final report, which will include the toxicology report, which would include microscopic examination. how old are the injuries? get them precisely in the world of fiction, but you can differentiate between acute up to 12 or 24 hours, subacute up to 48 hours and chronic more than 48 hours. we are going to...
