Ellen Greenberg's Death Ruled Suicide by Medical Examiner
The Philadelphia Chief Medical Examiner has announced a new ruling in the death of Ellen Greenberg, a Manayunk teacher, confirming that her death was a suicide.
Ellen Greenberg's body was found with over 20 stab wounds to her chest and the back of her neck and head, as well as bruises all over her body. However, the medical examiner determined that the bruises were not caused by an assailant, but rather by daily activities, including her job.
The initial medical examiner's report stated that the cause of death was homicide, but this was later changed to suicide. Greenberg's family has been disputing this ruling and seeking to have it overturned.
The medical examiner's most recent ruling has reaffirmed the initial conclusion of suicide, sparking continued controversy and a ongoing court battle between the city and Greenberg's parents.
