Ellen Greenberg

Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher, was found dead in her apartment on January 26, 2011, with multiple stab wounds to her chest and a knife embedded in her body. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner initially ruled her death a homicide but reversed the determination to suicide weeks later without explanation, a decision her family has contested for over a decade through civil litigation and expert review. The case remains controversial due to inconsistencies in evidence, the unusual circumstances of the death, and questions about whether the suicide ruling was properly justified.
