Ellen Greenberg Ruling Reaffirmed: Medical Examiner Declares 20-Stab Death a Suicide
The death of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia schoolteacher found with 20 stab wounds in 2011, remains one of the most controversial forensic cases in recent history. Initially ruled a homicide, her manner of death was later changed to suicide after closed-door meetings between police and medical officials. Despite years of advocacy by her parents and contradictory forensic opinions—including a 2025 statement by the original pathologist recanting the suicide classification—Philadelphia’s Chief Medical Examiner recently reaffirmed the suicide ruling. This decision has reignited public debate, amplified by the Hulu docuseries *Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?*. The case continues to fuel widespread skepticism, with many questioning how someone could self-inflict so many wounds. This poll asks where the public stands on the cause of Ellen’s death.
