Ellen Greenberg Died From ‘Something Other Than Suicide’: Pathologist Who Conducted Autopsy Settles With Parents

Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment by her live-in fiancé, Sam Goldberg.

She had been stabbed more than 20 times in the back, neck, and torso. Her death was initially ruled a homicide, but after a closed-door meeting, officials changed the ruling to suicide.

For more than 14 years, Ellen’s parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have fought to overturn that decision.

Now, after settling two lawsuits, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office will reopen the investigation. The decision follows a sworn statement from a former pathologist admitting he was wrong to change the ruling from homicide to suicide.

The Greenberg’s do not believe Ellen committed suicide, and neither does Nancy Grace. Her book, What Happened to Ellen? An American Miscarriage of Justice is out today.
