Jeffrey Epstein's brother is again challenging the narrative that the late predator committed suicide in his Manhattan jail cell.
Speaking during the March 25 episode of "Crime Stories With Nancy Grace," Mark Epstein insisted his brother did not end his own life in August 2019.
"It was not a suicide," he told the Closing Arguments star, 66. "If you go back in time, when Jeffrey was first autopsied the day after they found his body, the initial death certificate said on the cause of death pending further study. They wouldn't call it a suicide or a homicide at that point in time."
'It Looked Too Much Like a Homicide'
The late predator died while awaiting trial for s-- trafficking.
Mark, 71, went on to reveal that two doctors "came out of the autopsy saying that they couldn't call it a suicide because it looked too much like a homicide."
As OK! previously reported, Michael Baden — a forensic pathologist hired by Mark — was convinced Jeffrey didn't taken his own life after reviewing the autopsy findings of New York City medical examiner Dr. Kristen Roman.
"That's what they said," the disgraced financier's younger brother added. "I was there, they were talking to me. That doesn't appear in the government report."
Jeffrey Epstein's brother is challenging the late abuser's alleged suicide.
However, the chief medical examiner of New York City at the time, Barbara Sampson, later ruled the abuser's death a suicide after "careful review of all investigative information" despite not being present at the autopsy.
Going on to bring up footage from the night of Jeffrey's death, Mark slammed former Attorney General Bill Bar conclusion that his brother killed himself after allegedly viewing the video.
"They never investigated Jeffrey's death anything other than a suicide, as they called it," Mark explained, because Bill "came out and said that he personally watched the videotape from outside of the tier."

'He Could Have Been Killed by Somebody'
A forensic pathologist hired by Mark Epstein claimed Jeffrey did not take his own life.
The real estate developer went on to say that when he found out that the surveillance footage had convinced Bill that Jeffrey's death was a suicide, he "realized this is a cover of some kind."
"Because number one, I thought, why is the attorney general personally watching the videotape?" Mark said. "That didn't seem realistic. And also he completely ignored the possibility that if Jeffrey was killed, he could have been killed by somebody that was already on the tier. There were about twelve or so other inmates on the tier that would not have to go and come."
Notably, CBS News reported last month that newly released Justice Department documents revealed that investigators reviewing the footage observed "an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019."
'Barr Is Complicit in This Cover-Up'
Photos of the abuser were included in a declassified FBI report into his death.
An FBI log described the blurry image uncovered from the night Jeffrey died as "possibly an inmate."
"Bill Barr's statement that nobody went in or out of the tier is based on nothing," Mark declared.
Calling it "just ridiculous," he added, "When I heard that, I said, 'He's either part of a cover-up or he's the stupidest guy on the planet.' No, Barr is complicit in this cover-up."
