Ellen Greenberg's Death Ruled Suicide by Medical Examiner
Documents from the medical examiner reveal the reasons behind the ruling of Ellen Greenberg's death as a suicide.
The Philadelphia Chief Medical Examiner announced a new ruling in the death of Ellen Greenberg, a Manayunk teacher, confirming that her death was a suicide.
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 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 homicide after the autopsy, but months later, it was ruled a suicide. Greenberg's family has been disputing this ruling and seeking to have it overturned.
The latest ruling from the medical examiner upholds the suicide ruling, perpetuating the controversy and court battle between the city and Greenberg's parents.
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner ruled Ellen Greenberg's death as a suicide again.
