Pennsylvania Supreme Court to Reexamine Controversial Suicide Ruling in Ellen Greenberg Case

The court will determine if Greenberg's parents can challenge the medical examiner's decision, potentially changing the cause of death to homicide.

Ellen Greenberg was found dead in 2011 with 20 stab wounds, initially ruled a homicide then changed to suicide.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case after appellate courts denied the parents' standing to challenge the ruling.
Key evidence includes inconsistencies in the crime scene and expert opinions suggesting the wounds were not self-inflicted.
The investigation has faced criticism for procedural flaws and potential conflicts of interest among officials.
The case could set a precedent regarding the power of medical examiners and the rights of families to contest their findings.
