- 📌 A new report from Philadelphia's Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Lindsay Simon, rules Ellen Greenberg's death a suicide, despite 20 stab wounds and multiple bruises.
- ⚠️ The report contends there was no sign of a struggle in the apartment and no evidence of an abusive relationship with her fiancé, Sam Goldberg.
- 💡 The family and their lawyer vehemently disagree with the findings, calling the report an "injustice" that selectively chooses information.
Questions Surrounding the Initial Ruling and New Report
- 🔍 The case has a history of shifting conclusions, with the first medical examiner, Dr. Osborne, initially ruling it a homicide, then suicide, and later stating he no longer believed it was a suicide.
- 🤯 The new report's conclusion is particularly surprising as the Greenberg's attorney was unaware of Dr. Simon's involvement until the report's release.
- ❓ The report suggests Ellen's alleged anxiety expressed in the hours before her death as a factor, a point the family disputes.
Discrepancies and Potential Explanations
- 🔪 A key point of contention is the finding by an investigator hired by the Greenbergs that at least one stab wound occurred after Ellen was dead, making suicide impossible.
- 🔬 Dr. Simon's report introduces a new theory that the spinal cord puncture may have been an accidental puncture during the initial examination by Dr. Osborne, a claim never made before.
- 🧐 The family and their legal team question how this new information surfaced 14 years later.
Legal Recourse and Public Outcry
- ⚖️ The Greenberg family's attorney is exploring different legal options, with possibilities including involvement from state police or the FBI.
- 📢 A petition with nearly 200,000 signatures and a viral Hulu documentary highlight significant public concern and demand for transparency.
- 📣 The family states they are not giving up their fight for justice and transparency in Ellen's case.
