Medical Examiner Reverses Ruling on Ellen Greenberg's 2011 Death

Fourteen years after the Philadelphia teacher's death, the original pathologist now states her death should not have been classified as suicide.

Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia teacher, was found dead in 2011 with 20 stab wounds, initially ruled a homicide before being changed to suicide by the medical examiner.
Dr. Marlon Osbourne, the pathologist who conducted Greenberg's autopsy, has now stated her death should not have been classified as suicide, citing new information and his original findings.
Greenberg's parents have long contested the suicide ruling, alleging a botched investigation and cover-up by local authorities, and have filed multiple lawsuits seeking justice.
A judge recently allowed the Greenbergs' 2022 lawsuit against the city of Philadelphia to proceed to trial, with jury selection beginning this week.
Key issues raised include the compromised crime scene, removal of Greenberg's belongings by her fiancé's family, and inconsistencies in the investigation and evidence handling.
