Philadelphia Medical Examiner Reaffirms Ellen Greenberg's Death as Suicide

Why this matters: The case has been a source of contention for over a decade, with significant debate over whether Greenberg's death was a suicide or a homicide. The reaffirmation of the suicide ruling is likely to prolong the legal battles and public interest in the case.

Ellen Greenberg was found with 23 stab wounds in her apartment in 2011. The case was initially ruled a homicide but later changed to suicide. Dr. Simon's report cites Greenberg's anxiety and the absence of evidence of a struggle or intruder as key factors in determining the death as a suicide.

The report also notes that Greenberg was under psychiatric care for anxiety related to her teaching job and concerns about inflated grades. Despite the unusual distribution of injuries, including a stab wound to the back of her neck, Dr. Simon maintains that Greenberg could have inflicted the wounds herself.

The family's legal team argues that key evidence contradicts the suicide ruling, including 3D photogrammetry, unexplained bruises, missing surveillance footage, and accounts of a toxic relationship. They insist that Greenberg was murdered and that the city is covering up the truth.
