The City of New York is refusing to release a copy of the paramedic’s report on the mysterious prison death of Jeffrey Epstein – not even to his own relatives, RadarOnline.com only learned.
The stunning revelation fuels speculation by his family that the Bureau of Prisons — in cahoots with the city — is reportedly trying to bury key evidence in the August 2019 death of the billionaire pedophile found hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC).
What’s more, the vital first responder’s report was surprisingly missing from the typical Justice Department Inspector General’s report Research report of 128 pages in Epstein’s death that took 4 years.
Renowned lawyer Stacey Richmanrepresenting Epstein’s brother, told RadarOnline.com exclusively that she has been trying to get her hands on a copy of the report since 2019 — but was stopped by officials.
Mark Epstein has already received the medical examiner’s report, along with a grim series of photos of his late brother – but for some reason, the EMS report is sacred to his eyes.
“I just think it’s interesting that there are so many things that aren’t in the Inspector General’s report that would have been logical investigative things they could have done,” Richman said. “I would think the attached report from the (medical emergency technician) would be an important piece of information – it completes the story.”
Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden who insists Epstein’s neck fractures were consistent with manual strangulation – no suicide – also scolded the Inspector General’s report for completely ignoring the EMS report.
“Where is the ambulance report – which would be more valuable than relying on what the (two corrections officers) who found Epstein said and initially refused to give any information,” asked Dr. To bathe.
“The autopsy report was released to the family, but not the EMS report – the only evidence that gives you an independent assessment of the condition of the body at the time of death,” Dr. Baden said. “The paramedics are submitting a report from 3 to 4 pages that it contains a lot of important information … Otherwise (detectives) rely on the two guards who moved the body.
Dr. Baden and Richman know that Epstein was discovered in his cell at 6:30 a.m. with a noose made of sheets wrapped around his neck — but everything else remains shrouded in mystery after that.
The Inspector General’s report — either accidentally or on purpose — raises questions about the condition of Epstein’s body, which was moved before paramedics arrived.
‘The memorandum of the (prison) clinical nurse states that Epstein was coldwith bruises circumferentially around his neck and spots on the back (skin color), pupils fixed and dilated, and no palpable pulses were felt,” the Inspector General’s report said.
Dr. Baden, who was a pathologist for 50 years for the New York State Correction Medical Review Board, which investigates all deaths in prisons and prison cells, estimates Epstein was DEAD for about two hours before being discovered based on the written statement of the “Clinical Nurse” . .
After Epstein was brought down, it was decided to move his corpse to the treatment room of the MCC Health Services Unit where CPR was administered until the ambulance arrived, the inspector general’s report said.
“Emergency services and paramedics arrived at the scene, intubated Epstein and gave him drugs and fluids, the report said. “Epstein was transported to the local emergency room at approximately 7:10 a.m. while CPR was in progress”
Dr. Baden told RadarOnline.com that moving Epstein’s corpse is extremely suspicious.
“If this had been a New York City case, the body wouldn’t have been disturbed,” he explained of the difference between state and federal prison protocols. “Whoever was in charge decided to move the body before EMS arrived.”
Dr. Baden told RadarOnline.com that the EMS report details the time of death, whether rigor mortis had set in and, more importantly, why they rushed him to the hospital if he was already dead.

For now, the EMS report remains top secret – it’s not even worthy of a painstakingly crafted report from the federal government.
“I have a Freedom of Information Act request because there is no active case in which I can serve a subpoena,” Richman told RadarOnline.com. “I don’t know if they don’t want it or if they’re too busy – I don’t know, but there’s no reason we can’t have it right now, and I’ve been looking for it from the start.”
When asked if it was unusual for the city to withhold the EMS report from family members, she said, “I really don’t have anything to compare it to because how much more unusual can we get with this case.”
