Hulu Docuseries Revives Ellen Greenberg Case as City Faces Court Deadline in Reexamination

Officials face an Oct. 14 court deadline to finish a reexamination ordered after a settlement prompted by the original pathologist’s 2025 affidavit.

Overview

  • The three-part ABC News Studios series, Death in Apartment 603, premiered Sept. 29 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, directed by Nancy Schwartzman.
  • Ellen Greenberg, 27, was found in 2011 with 20 stab wounds and a knife in her chest; the case shifted from suicide to homicide and back to suicide.
  • A judge this month criticized delays and set Oct. 14 for the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office to complete its court-ordered review.
  • In February 2025, autopsy pathologist Dr. Marlon Osbourne swore he no longer believed Greenberg died by suicide, leading to a settlement requiring a new evaluation.
  • Coverage and the series detail early investigative lapses, including a cleaned scene and removed devices, while noting fiancé Sam Goldberg has not been charged and declined to participate.
