Grieving Parents' 14-Year Quest to Uncover Daughter's Mysterious Death

In January 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment, with a kitchen knife in her chest. The initial autopsy ruled her death a homicide, but the manner was later changed to suicide without explanation. For the past 14 years, Ellen's parents, Sandee and Josh Greenberg, have been fighting to uncover the truth about their daughter's sudden and suspicious death.

The Greenbergs have spent years investigating on their own, uncovering new evidence that raises questions about the official ruling. In 2019, they sued the City of Philadelphia, asking officials to change Ellen's manner of death back to homicide so the police could investigate further. Last February, the city agreed to reevaluate the original autopsy, and the medical examiner who initially ruled the death a suicide has since signed a statement saying the manner of death should be changed.

The city has until mid-October to complete its reevaluation, and the Greenbergs are determined to get to the bottom of what happened to their beloved daughter. "We are just two parents who want the truth for our daughter. That's it," says Josh Greenberg. Their dogged pursuit of justice is chronicled in a new three-part documentary, "Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?", premiering on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ on September 29.
