Philadelphia medical examiner reaffirms its finding that Ellen Greenberg’s death was a suicide
General News,Pennsylvania,Philadelphia,Death
In 2011, schoolteacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead on the kitchen floor of her Philadelphia apartment with some 20 knife wounds and numerous bruises. A city medical examiner ruled her death a suicide – a finding rejected by the 27-year-old’s parents, who were convinced she’d been murdered.
Their fourteen-year quest for the truth prompted multiple lawsuits, numerous headlines, an online petition with 167,000 signatures and a new Hulu documentary series, “Death in Apartment 603.” Earlier this year the pathologist who performed her autopsy reversed his findings, saying he no longer believed Greenberg killed herself.
