The mystery surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death has resurfaced once again—this time with a sharp rebuke from his own brother.
Mark Epstein isn’t holding back when it comes to those defending the official ruling that Epstein died by suicide.
In fact, he’s slamming high-profile officials who support that narrative, insisting there’s more to the story than what the public has been told.
At the center of this renewed controversy is Kash Patel, former FBI official under Donald Trump, who recently reaffirmed that Epstein died by suicide.
That didn’t sit well with Mark, who believes that conclusion is not only wrong—but possibly a cover-up.
“He Wasn’t There” – Mark Epstein Calls Out FBI Official
Mark Epstein didn’t mince words when speaking to the Daily Mail.
After hearing Patel’s statements, Mark dismissed them outright: “He wasn’t there, he didn’t see the body, he didn’t see the autopsy.
He has no idea what the f*** he’s talking about.”
Mark has long questioned the official story of his brother’s death, and Patel’s certainty only added fuel to his doubts.
“It would be a lot easier for me if I thought it was suicide,” he admitted.
“But there’s a long list of things that point away from it.”
Patel and Bongino Double Down on Suicide Ruling
Patel, along with former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino, sparked the backlash during a Sunday appearance on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo.
Addressing public skepticism about Epstein’s 2019 death, Bartiromo asked directly, “People don’t believe it—so, what do you say?”
Patel stood firm, saying: “As someone who has worked as a public defender, a prosecutor, been in that prison system—you know a suicide when you see one.”
Bongino backed him up, stating, “He killed himself. I’ve seen the whole file.”
Bongino later reiterated his stance on social media, writing, “There’s no evidence in the case file suggesting otherwise.”
He added that he would be open to changing his opinion if new evidence were ever uncovered.
Mark Epstein Isn’t Convinced—and He’s Done His Own Investigating
But none of that sways Mark Epstein, who remains convinced his brother didn’t take his own life.
He’s even gone as far as conducting his own tests to challenge the official narrative.
Epstein was found on August 10, 2019, hanging in his cell at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center.
The official report says he used a bedsheet as a ligature, but Mark says he bought a similar sheet and tested it himself.
According to him, there’s no way it could have supported his brother’s body weight—it would’ve torn.
Problems with the Cameras and the Timeline
Mark also pointed to major problems with the prison’s security systems.
Two cameras outside Epstein’s cell weren’t working properly the night he died.
Attorney General Bill Barr later said he personally viewed video footage that confirmed no one entered or exited the tier where Epstein was held.
Mark called that explanation “asinine and ludicrous.”
He argues that someone could have been on the same tier without having to go in or out—and still had access to Jeffrey’s cell.
“There are six levels of security before you even get to that tier,” Mark said.
“But there were 11 or 12 inmates already there. If someone wanted to kill Jeff, they wouldn’t need to leave or enter the tier. That’s your answer.”
Questions About the Autopsy and Physical Evidence
Mark also questioned how quickly the death certificate was updated.
Initially, the cause of death was listed as “pending further study,” but it was soon changed to suicide.
“If you ask any pathologist, it takes weeks for those results,” he said. “What changed in just a few days?”
He raised other disturbing inconsistencies too.
Mark says his brother looked freshly shaven in autopsy photos—even though shaving in the prison happened on Fridays and Epstein was found on a Saturday.
“He was hairy,” Mark said, “and should’ve had more stubble if he’d only been dead for two hours.”
He also brought up the lack of lividity—discoloration caused by blood settling after death—on Epstein’s lower body. Instead, it was on his upper back.
“That’s startling,” Mark noted. “Blood wouldn’t travel upwards like that.”
Was Epstein Killed for What He Knew?
To Mark, the motive behind a possible murder is clear: his brother had secrets that could shake the powerful.
He recalled a conversation with Jeffrey during the 2016 election.
“I asked him who he thought would win, and he said, ‘If I told you what I know about both candidates, they’d have to cancel the election.’”
Although Jeffrey never elaborated, that cryptic comment stuck with Mark—and it now feeds his belief that his brother’s death was no accident.
Trump’s Skepticism and the “Document Dump” That Went Nowhere
Interestingly, former President Donald Trump has expressed similar doubts about Epstein’s cause of death over the years.
Even before taking office, he vowed to release all files related to the investigation.
He followed through shortly after being inaugurated, signing an executive order calling for the declassification of sensitive government documents.
Attorney General Pam Bondi oversaw the first phase of the release, but it wasn’t exactly explosive.
It included old flight logs and redacted contact lists from Epstein’s files.
Still, some big names weren’t blacked out—like Mick Jagger, Alec Baldwin, Naomi Campbell, and even Ivanka Trump.
While none of the names were directly tied to Epstein’s crimes, their inclusion only added to the mystery and speculation.
The Debate Rages On
Years later, the debate over what really happened to Jeffrey Epstein is far from settled.
Officials like Patel and Bongino insist the evidence points to suicide.
But Mark Epstein—and a large portion of the public—remain unconvinced.
With questions still lingering about prison security failures, unexplained autopsy details, and Epstein’s powerful connections, the mystery continues to haunt everyone who followed the case.
For Mark Epstein, though, it’s not just a mystery—it’s personal. And he’s not ready to stop asking questions.
