"The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office has reaffirmed its ruling that Ellen Greenberg's 2011 stabbing death was a suicide, sparking outrage from her family and friends who believe she was murdered.
According to Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lindsay Simon, Greenberg's death was a result of her own anxiety, which had been exacerbated by her work as a teacher. Simon pointed out that there was no sign of a struggle at the scene, and the fiancé's DNA was not found on the knife.
The decision to reaffirm the ruling comes after a 32-page review of the case, which was sparked by the family's lawsuits against the City of Philadelphia and others. The family has long believed that Greenberg was murdered, and their efforts to seek justice have been met with frustration and delays.
Greenberg's family is reeling from the news, with her parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, expressing their disappointment and outrage. "This is an embarrassment," said the family's attorney. "The medical examiner's office is more concerned with covering up the truth than with getting to the bottom of what really happened to Ellen."
The case has garnered widespread attention, with a Hulu docuseries and an online petition with 167,000 signatures calling for justice. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office's decision to stand firm on its ruling has left many wondering if the truth will ever be revealed.
As the controversy surrounding Greenberg's death continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the family's fight for justice is far from over. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in the pursuit of truth and justice.
With this decision, the spotlight is on the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office and its handling of the case. Will they continue to stand by their ruling, or will the family's cries for justice be heard? Only time will tell.
