Medical examiner reaffirms Ellen Greenberg's death was a suicide

E EXCLUSIVE ACCUWEATHER SEVEN DAY FORECAST CHRISTIE. >> ALL RIGHT. LOOK FORWARD TO THE UPDATE. PAYTON. THANK YOU. WELL, WE HAVE NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ELLEN GREENBERG CASE AFTER YEARS OF CONTROVERSY AND CALLS FOR CHANGE, THE PHILADELPHIA MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE DELIVERED A DECISION TO KEEP GREENBERG'S CAUSE OF DEATH A SUICIDE. THE LONG AWAITED DETERMINATION IS PART OF THE GREENBERG'S FAMILY'S CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THE CITY. TO REEVALUATE HOW THEIR DAUGHTER DIED. IT WAS BACK IN 2011 WHEN THE FORMER PHILADELPHIA TEACHER WAS FOUND DEAD FROM 20 STAB WOUNDS. HER DEATH RULED A HOMICIDE BEFORE CONTROVERSIALLY BEING REVERSED TO A SUICIDE. HER PARENTS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO CHANGE THAT EVER SINCE, AND NOW, IN A 32 PAGE REVIEW MADE PUBLIC TODAY, THE CHIEF MEDICAL EXAMINER SAID ELLEN WOULD HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF INFLICTING INJURIES ON HERSELF, NOTING THAT THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A STRUGGLE AT THE SCENE AND THE FIANCÉ'S DNA WAS NOT ON THE KNIFE. I SPOKE TO THE FAMILY'S ATTORNEY THIS AFTERNOON. >> DOCTOR SIMON MISUNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. THIS REPORT, IF YOU READ IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, SEEMS TO BE WRITTEN MORE TO EXCULPATE ELLEN'S FIANCE, THAN TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW ELLEN DIED. I THINK DOCTOR SIMON HAS MARSHALED WHATEVER EVIDENCE SHE CAN TO SUPPORT A PREDETERMINED FINDING OF SUICIDE, WHILE OMITTING OR DISTORTING ALL THE OTHER EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. >> IN A SPECIAL HULU SERIES LAST MONTH THAT BROUGHT RENEWED ATTENTION TO THE CASE, AND IT REEXAMINED EVIDENCE FROM HER DEATH AND WHAT HER FAMILY CALLS SYSTEMIC ERRORS. >> THE STORY CARRIED ITSELF TO THIS POINT. THERE WAS SO MUCH, SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS, LIES, FALSEHOODS, THINGS IN THIS STORY THAT JUST REACHED THIS POINT WHERE THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT WAS TO DO THIS TYPE OF DOCUMENTARY SERIES. >> SO THAT CASE GOES BEFORE A JUDGE TOMORROW IN PHILADELPHIA'S COMMON PLEAS COURT, THE FAMILY'S ATTORNEY SAYS IT WILL CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OTHER AVENUES FOR
