Grieving Parents Refuse to Accept Daughter's Suicide Ruling, Demand Justice
15 Oct
Summary
- Sandee and Josh Greenberg fought for years to change daughter's death from suicide to homicide
- Philadelphia medical examiner reviewed case and ruled it a suicide again
- Family believes someone got away with murder and vows to keep fighting

In a heartbreaking turn of events, the Philadelphia medical examiner has once again ruled the 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg as a suicide, despite years of efforts by her parents, Sandee and Josh Greenberg, to have the manner of death changed to homicide or undetermined.
The Greenbergs have been fighting tirelessly to uncover the truth about their daughter's tragic passing. Ellen, who was 27 years old at the time, was found dead in the kitchen of her Philadelphia apartment, with 20 stab wounds to her body, including to her head, neck, spine, and heart. The initial autopsy had determined the manner of death as homicide, but this was later changed to suicide.
Devastated by the latest ruling, Sandee Greenberg expressed feeling "kicked in the stomach" and being "dumbfounded" by the 32-page reevaluation. The family remains steadfast in their pursuit of justice, with Josh Greenberg stating, "We want to know the truth." They believe that someone got away with murder and vow to continue their fight, refusing to give up on their beloved daughter.

The case has garnered significant attention, with a recent Hulu documentary, "Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?," featuring experts who argue that the wounds were not self-inflicted. However, the medical examiner, Dr. Lindsay Simon, maintains that while the injury distribution is unusual, Ellen would have been capable of inflicting the wounds herself.
As the Greenbergs navigate this heartbreaking journey, they remain determined to uncover the truth and ensure that their daughter's death is properly investigated and understood.
