The Death of Ellen Greenberg: Inside a Case Ruled Suicide and the Questions That Remain


On January 26, 2011, Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old elementary school teacher, was found dead inside her apartment in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia. She had been stabbed 20 times. A kitchen knife was embedded in her chest.

Within days, her death was officially ruled a suicide.

More than a decade later, that ruling continues to divide forensic experts, legal scholars, and the public. While no criminal charges have ever been filed, Ellen Greenberg’s parents have spent years challenging the official classification, arguing that the evidence supports uncertainty rather than conclusion.

This article examines what is known about Ellen Greenberg’s life, the circumstances of her death, the investigation that followed, and why the case remains a focal point in debates over forensic procedure and medical examiner authority.
