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.
According to the medical examiner, 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 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 had listed the cause of death as homicide, but months later, the ruling was changed to suicide. Greenberg's family has been disputing this ruling and seeking to have it overturned.
The latest ruling from the medical examiner reaffirms the suicide ruling, sparking continued controversy and a court battle between the city and Greenberg's parents.
