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.
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 had listed the cause of death as homicide, but this was later changed to suicide. Greenberg's family has been contesting this ruling, seeking to have it overturned.
