Medical Examiner Challenges Suicide Ruling in Ellen Greenberg Death

Medical Examiner's Initial Findings

• 💡 The medical examiner's office initially stated Ellen Greenberg's death was "not a suicide" but later deemed it "inconclusive."
• 🎯 Dr. Kendall Crowns, a chief medical examiner, suggests the case "really looks like a homicide" rather than a suicide.

Analysis of Stab Wounds

• 🔬 Several stab wounds were superficial, but critical ones reached the aortic arch and liver.
• ⚠️ A significant stab wound to the back of the head into the cervical spine (C2) would have caused instant quadriplegia, making it impossible for her to inflict further wounds.
• 🔪 The presence of both shallow and deep wounds, along with a cervical spine injury, suggests an incapacitated victim who could not have continued stabbing herself.

Bruises and Post-Mortem Evidence

• 🔍 Hemorrhages on the neck suggest someone grabbing and applying pressure, potentially indicating strangulation before other injuries.
• 🎨 Bruises on the body showed different stages of healing, indicating they occurred at various times, with a recent, large purple bruise deemed impossible for a child to inflict.
• 💀 Any wound without blood in the cavity is considered a post-mortem injury, meaning it occurred after death when blood pressure was gone.

Doorman's Contradictory Testimony

• 🚫 The doorman, whom the fiance claimed was a witness to him breaking down the door, swore in a deposition that he never left his post.
• 🎥 Video evidence reportedly confirms the doorman's account, showing he was not present at the apartment door as the fiance stated.
• 🤥 The doorman explicitly stated that anyone claiming he was there is "lying," highlighting a significant inconsistency in the fiance's narrative.
