Conspiracy theorists have branded the newly released death images as fabricated.

However, conspiracy theories have persisted for years, fueled by his wealth, his powerful connections, and failures inside the prison on the night he died.

Following the release of the DoJ files on Friday, anonymous social media users escalated the claims of fakery around the new images of Epstein's blue corpse, with one poster arguing online: "If he is really dead and Ghislaine Maxwell is still alive, then something does not add up, she knows what he knew and he is probably out there relaxing somewhere."

Another commenter dismissed the suicide finding outright, saying: "There is no way a narcissist like Epstein would take his own life."

Anonymous posters highlighted physical variations in the forensic autopsy photographs.

Other posts focused on forensic details, including autopsy photographs, some users said showed a different body, pointing to variations in the nose and ears of Epstein when he was alive and dead, while others highlighted a fractured hyoid bone and argued the low ceiling height in the cell made hanging implausible.

One widely shared post referenced a 2023 Justice Department review and claimed Epstein had sleep apnea and an undamaged machine in his cell, adding that his brother Mark Epstein believed a cord would have been easier to use than bedsheets when it came to hanging.

Photos purporting to show Epstein alive, including a drone image allegedly taken after his death, are again circulating alongside the autopsy "mystery" claims, though news organizations said they could not independently verify the authenticity of the material or the identities of those depicted in the images.

Conspiracy theorists cited a CCTV room in the New York townhouse as proof of a honeytrap.

Epstein's madam Maxwell, 64, is serving a federal prison sentence for s-- trafficking offenses, with investigators claiming both she and Epstein were secretly spies for agencies ranging from Russian intelligence to Mossad.

Justice Department officials have repeatedly said the Epstein case is now closed, emphasizing procedural failures rather than foul play in his death.

Others insist Epstein was assassinated in his jail cell to shut him up about his rich and powerful connections.

Conspiracy theories point to a CCTV room located in his New York townhouse as proof he was at the center of a global honeytrap operation, designed to amass s-- tapes of his rich and famous friends so they could later be bribed.
