Overview
- Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lindsay Simon’s report concludes Greenberg’s death is best classified as suicide, describing many injuries as hesitation wounds and noting no defensive wounds.
- The review cites corroboration of Sam Goldberg’s movements through phone logs, keycard swipes and video, and reports no other person’s DNA on the knife.
- Simon documents 23 stab and incised wounds—up from the original 20—and increases the recorded bruises to 31, adding three superficial skin perforations that did not cause significant internal injury.
- Greenberg’s parents and their attorneys denounce the findings as deeply flawed, pointing to independent 3D analyses, alleged investigative gaps and earlier statements by original pathologist Dr. Marlon Osbourne urging a designation other than suicide.
- The re-examination followed a February 2025 settlement with the city; a brief court hearing on Tuesday acknowledged the filing, and the case has drawn renewed attention after a Hulu/Disney+ docuseries.
