The photos purporting to be of Epstein on the gurney that have been flying around Twitter

appear to have come from a NY Post story.

The NY Post is an old rightwing publication, with "mixed" reporting according to Media Matters, so take the article with a grain of salt.

Just letting you know that the photos have appeared in a major publication.

Wasn't the autopsy supposed to be released this afternoon? What happened?

'The New York City medical examiner performed the autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein on Sunday, but said its determination is “pending further information at this time.”

Epstein, accused of sexually assaulting and trafficking girls as young as 14, was found dead Saturday morning after he hanged himself in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

After a previous suicide attempt on July 23, Epstein was put on 24-hour suicide watch for six days, then removed to a special housing unit with another inmate, according to prison officials. The other inmate was later moved out of the unit, leaving Epstein alone and not properly monitored by guards, according to The New York Times.'
