Documents from Medical Examiner Reveal Reasons for Ellen Greenberg's Death Ruling

According to the medical examiner, Greenberg's body was found with over 20 stab wounds to her chest and the back of her neck and head, as well as bruises all over her body. However, the examiner determined that the bruises were not caused by an assailant, but rather by daily activities, including her job.

The Philadelphia Medical Examiner ruled Ellen Greenberg's death as a suicide again, continuing a longstanding controversy and court battle between the city and her parents.

The family's battle to overturn the ruling continues, with the latest decision likely to prolong the controversy.
