Russian mogul who called Ghislaine Maxwell his ‘soulmate’ is found dead in luxe Moscow pad

A Russian mogul who once called sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell his “soulmate” was found dead in a luxury Moscow apartment Monday, according to reports — just weeks after his name surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Umar Dzhabrailov, a Chechen businessman and former senator, was discovered lying in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head at about 3 a.m., Russian outlet Kommersant reported, citing police sources who called it a suspected suicide.

Police discovered a Luger pistol lying by the 67-year-old’s body. But Dzhabrailov — who had tried to take his life in 2020 — didn’t leave a suicide note, the sources said.

The businessman’s apparent suicide comes after he was among the Russian names that appeared in the Justice Department’s latest Epstein document dump.

Emails show him trying to meet the pedophile’s madam in Moscow in 2001.

“Dear Ghislaine, I’m back from London, planing 2 B in Moscow. Really want 2 C U, but I need 2 know exactly when U arive, cause I want 2 take care of U and arrange welcoming things. Wishing U all the best! Umar,” read the email, dated May 24.

Maxwell responded the following day, writing: “Umar, sorry that we did not come last week. Got side tracked and ended up in France. However we Jeffrey Tom and I are coming next week arriving Fri. Will you be around and can we get together? Let me know. Hope you are well. Ghislaine.”

The extent of their relationship, or how they initially met, wasn’t immediately clear.

Lawyers Scramble When Bill Clinton Asked if He Thinks Epstein Killed Himself – Hillary Says Epstein “Mysteriously Died”

Bill and Hillary Clinton appeared doubtful that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in the depositions with the House Oversight Committee last week, with Bill seeming unsure as his lawyers attempted to evade the question and Hillary flat out describing his death as “mysterious.”

Bill and Hillary previously refused to testify before the House Oversight Committee, leading to an attempt to hold the two in contempt of Congress, and they finally agreed to sit for interviews.

Bill Clinton, in his deposition, denied that Trump engaged in any wrongdoing and actually appeared to defend Trump when the Democrats attempted to bait him into saying Trump was implicated in Epstein’s crimes.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said last week that the Clintons did not appear to believe the government line that Epstein killed himself.

Epstein apparently killed himself in a facility known for its stringent security measures, while the prison guards failed to do mandatory checks on Epstein. The guards were also asleep, falsified records to cover their negligence, and the cameras were reportedly not working.

The New York City medical examiner concluded that Epstein died by suicide via hanging. However, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Dr. Michael Baden, a renowned forensic pathologist hired by Epstein’s family, observed the autopsy and noted injuries more consistent with homicidal strangulation, including fractures of the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage. But FBI Director Kash Patel dismissed this evidence last year, saying he’d never seen it!

When Luna asked Bill Clinton if he believes that Epstein committed suicide in prison, Clinton’s attorneys stepped in and tried to prevent the question from being asked until Luna finally reworded it, asking Clinton if Epstein was suicidal.

Clinton uncomfortably responded, “I don’t know. I only know what the medical finding was. I’ve accepted it in my own mind. I don’t know what happened.” He further stated, “none of us know” what actually happened.

Millionaire Philanthropist Found Shot Dead at Assisted Living Facility in Maryland

An investigation is underway after a millionaire philanthropist was found shot dead at his senior assisted living facility in Maryland.

On Valentine’s Day, Robert Fuller, 87, was found dead with a gunshot wound in his apartment at the Cogir Potomac Senior Living facility in Potomac, Maryland.

The Montgomery County Department of Police is investigating his death as a homicide, but gave no information on whether Fuller’s killer was from the inside of the facility or the outside.

Detectives handling the case further added, Fuller was “taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsy to determine cause and manner of death.”

Per People:

Police are investigating after a millionaire philanthropist was shot dead at a senior living facility in Maryland.

On Saturday, Feb. 14 at approximately 7:34 a.m. local time, the Montgomery County Department of Police and Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service officers “responded to the Cogir Potomac Senior Living facility in the 10800 block of Potomac Tennis Lane for a reported code,” per a news release.

First responders then located 87-year-old Robert Fuller, Jr. “unresponsive inside an apartment within the senior living facility,” the release stated.

Police said, “Life-saving measures were attempted, but he was pronounced dead at the scene,” adding that officers at the scene “observed that Fuller had trauma to the head and Major Crimes was notified.”

In a statement, the Cogir Potomac Senior Living Facility sent a memo to residents that reads, “This was an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing threat to residents or staff. ”

Kurt Cobain’s death declared a homicide by Seattle cop ordered to probe investigation: ‘Botched’

Kurt Cobain was found lifeless in a greenhouse attached to his Seattle home, and within a few hours, investigators declared his death a suicide. 

Now, a retired Seattle Police captain has claimed that the physical evidence from the Nirvana frontman’s death scene ‘does not add up,’ alleging the case was mishandled and staged to look like he took his own life.

Neil Low, who spent 50 years with the Seattle Police Department (SPD) and was asked by his chief to audit the Cobain case in 2005, told the Daily Mail he believes investigators failed to treat the rockstar’s death as a potential homicide properly. 

‘I just am not buying that Kurt did that to himself,’ Low said, describing the SPD investigation as ‘botched.’ However, Low did not work on the initial investigation and it was not conducted at his assigned precinct. 

He cited what he described as anomalies in blood evidence, the violence of the shotgun wound and alleged inconsistencies at the scene. 

Low, who retired in 2018, discussed inconsistencies within the autopsy and SPD reports, including missing notes, omitted witness observations and conflicting details about events leading up to Cobain’s death. 

‘One thing about report writing is the human error factor: misheard, misunderstood, transposed thoughts, and forgotten details,’ said Low. 

‘They were led astray. I might have fallen for it, too, but now I think it’s a homicide, and I do think the case should be reopened.’

Cause of Death Revealed for Doctor Found Dead and Naked in Miami Dollar Tree Freezer

The cause of death for the woman who was found dead and naked inside a walk-in freezer in a Miami Dollar Tree store last year was revealed this week.

As previously reported, a female doctor was found dead in a Dollar Tree freezer in Miami in December.

32-year-old Helen Massiell Garay Sanchez was found deceased and naked inside the store’s walk-in freezer in Little Havana.

Sanchez reportedly entered the Dollar Tree the night before she was found. She made no purchases and was found in an area designated for employees only.

At the time, authorities said no foul play was suspected.

It was revealed on Wednesday that Sanchez died of environmental hypothermia, with ethanol use (alcohol) being a contributory cause.

“According to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s Office, the cause of death for 32-year-old Helen Massiell Garay Sanchez was environmental hypothermia, with ethanol use being a contributory cause,” NBC Miami reported.

“Her toxicology report showed that her ethanol levels were 0.112%. Ethanol is the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages,” the outlet reported.

A medical expert said Sanchez may have taken her clothes off after she became confused and disoriented as the hypothermia set in.

Pathologist at Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy demands new investigation into possible murder

A renowned pathologist who was at Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy is demanding a fresh investigation, insisting newly released info only confirms his belief that the notorious pedophile was murdered.

Dr. Michael Baden, who was New York City’s chief medical examiner in the 1970s, was so alarmed by what he saw in the August 2019 exam that he publicly declared “the evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide.”

“That was my opinion at that time, and I still stand by it,” the famed pathologist told the Telegraph in an interview published Friday.

“The autopsy findings are much more consistent with a crushing injury caused by homicidal strangulation than caused by hanging by suicide.”

In fact, Baden insisted, documents released in the Epstein files reinforce his belief that the medical examiner rushed to call the death a suicide.

It also showed there was reason to believe that suspicious behavior in the Metropolitan Correctional Center at the time — including a flash of orange on videos that looked like a possible inmate — should not have been dismissed as foolish conspiracies.

“Given all the information now available, further investigation into the cause and manner of death is warranted,” Baden insisted in his latest interview.

Doctor at Jeffrey Epstein’s post-mortem says the paedophile was strangled and NOT hanged

Jeffrey Epstein was strangled, not hanged in his New York prison cell, according to a doctor present at his post-mortem.

Dr Michael Baden has called for the cause of the paedophile’s death to be reinvestigated, almost seven years after he was found unresponsive at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019.

He is unconvinced by the conclusion of the New York Medical Examiner’s Office that the American millionaire took his own life while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

‘My opinion is that his death was most likely caused by strangulation pressure rather than hanging,’ the pathologist, who was hired by the financier’s estate, told The Telegraph. 

He added: ‘Given all the information now available, further investigation into the cause and manner of death is warranted.’

While the doctor did not carry out the post-mortem himself, he was present during the examination and acted as an observer on behalf of Epstein’s family. 

‘At the time that the autopsy was done by the medical examiner, we both agreed that, on the basis of the autopsy report and the information available, more information was needed to determine the cause and manner of death,’ Dr Baden said. 

Following the release of more than three million documents related to the late sex offender by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), more questions have been raised about the nature of Epstein’s death.

Kurt Cobain’s Death Labeled ‘Homicide’ by Independent Investigators, Police Not Reopening the Case

Kurt Cobain’s death is one of the most tragic losses the music world has ever suffered. The Nirvana frontman died more than 30 years ago, from a self-inflicted shotgun wound at his home in Seattle, Washington.

But now, a group of independent researchers claims that they have gathered enough evidence to prove Cobain’s death was a homicide. This certainly isn’t a new idea, as conspiracy theorists have speculated as such for years.

The Daily Mail reports that an “unofficial private sector team of forensic scientists” has undertaken a new investigation. They have researched Cobain’s autopsy results, as well as the crime scene materials. They also brought in a specialist named Brian Burnett. He’s previously assisted with investigations involving gunshot trauma that have been preceded by drug overdose.

Independent researcher Michelle Wilkins told Daily Mail that after three days of looking over the reports and evidence, Burnett said, “This is a homicide. We’ve got to do something about this.” Wilkins went on to detail what the team believes happened. She said that the signs around Cobain’s death are not consistent with an “instantaneous” gunshot.

The independent researchers believe that one or more assailants confronted Cobain and forced an overdose of heroin into his body. This was to incapacitate him. He was then shot in the head, and the gun was placed in his arms. Finally, the assailants left behind a fake suicide note to throw anyone off the trail.

Kurt Cobain’s death was ‘homicide’: Shocking new forensic investigation questions suicide ruling

His death shocked fans and sent ripples through the music world, but decades later, Kurt Cobain’s final moments are under renewed scrutiny. 

The Nirvana lead singer died on April 5, 1994, at age 27, from a self-inflicted shotgun wound at his Seattle home. 

At the time, the King County Medical Examiner ruled his death a suicide by a Remington Model 11 20-gauge shotgun.

Now, an unofficial private sector team of forensic scientists has put fresh eyes on Cobain’s autopsy and crime scene materials, bringing in Brian Burnett, a specialist who previously worked on cases involving overdoses followed by gunshot trauma.

Independent researcher Michelle Wilkins, who worked with the team, told Daily Mail that after just three days looking into the evidence with fresh eyes, Burnett said: ‘This is a homicide. We’ve got to do something about this.’ 

She said the conclusion followed an exhaustive review of the autopsy findings, which revealed signs inconsistent with an instantaneous gunshot death.

The peer-reviewed paper presented ten points of evidence suggesting Cobain was confronted by one or more assailants who forced a heroin overdose to incapacitate him, before one of them shot him in the head, placed the gun in his arms and left behind a forged suicide note. 

‘There are things in the autopsy that go, well, wait, this person didn’t die very quickly of a gunshot blast,’ Wilkins said, pointing to organ damage associated with oxygen deprivation. ‘The necrosis of the brain and liver happens in an overdose. It doesn’t happen in a shotgun death.’

Burnett has decades of experience analyzing crime scenes and interpreting complex evidence.

He has earned national recognition for his expert analysis in controversial cases like Marine Colonel James Sabow’s death and the investigation into Billey Joe Johnson Jr, where his meticulous forensic reconstructions challenged official findings. 

A spokesperson for the Medical Examiner’s Office told the Daily Mail: ‘King County Medical Examiner’s Office worked with the local law enforcement agency, conducted a full autopsy, and followed all of its procedures in coming to the determination of the manner of death as a suicide.

‘Our office is always open to revisiting its conclusions if new evidence comes to light, but we’ve seen nothing to date that would warrant re-opening of this case and our previous determination of death.’ 

The Daily Mail reviewed Cobain’s autopsy, which described how his body was found on the floor of the greenhouse above his garage. 

‘Examination of the miscellaneous papers in the left front pocket [of Cobain’s jeans] reveals some writing in black ink, reading ‘Remington 20 gauge 2-3/4 shells or shorter setup light shot 10888925,’ the June 20, 1994 autopsy reads. 

Wilkins said: ‘To me, it looks like someone staged a movie and wanted you to be absolutely certain this was a suicide. 

‘The receipt for the gun is in his pocket. The receipt for the shells is in his pocket. The shells are lined up at his feet.’

Statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s death emerges from files… but it’s dated a day before he killed himself

A federal statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein‘s death has surfaced in newly released Justice Department files but it carries a date that appears to precede the moment he was officially found dead inside his New York prison cell.

The document, issued by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and dated Friday, August 9, 2019, states that Epstein had already been found unresponsive and pronounced dead.

But prison records and official accounts show Epstein was not discovered unresponsive until the morning of August 10, 2019, when a corrections officer delivering breakfast found him in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.

In the statement, then–Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: ‘Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter. 

‘Today’s events are disturbing, and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving Epstein’s many victims their day in Court. 

‘To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment.’

Epstein, 66, had been held at the Manhattan jail since his arrest on July 6, 2019, after federal prosecutors charged him with sex trafficking minors and conspiracy.
