The Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office has once again classified Ellen Greenberg’s death as a suicide, as reported by various media outlets.

According to People, this recent assessment confirms the earlier conclusion that 27-year-old schoolteacher Ellen Greenberg took her own life, despite the presence of 20 stab wounds on her back, neck, and head, along with a knife embedded in her chest.

Greenberg, who taught first grade at Juniata Park Academy, was discovered dead in her locked apartment on January 26, 2011. She had returned home early from work that day due to a snowstorm.

Her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, reported finding her after he forcibly entered the apartment when she failed to respond. Goldberg has never been considered a suspect and has not faced any charges related to the incident.

Per People, the new report said that “while the distribution of injuries is admittedly unusual, the fact remains that Ellen would be capable of inflicting these injuries herself,” noting she was a “young woman suffering from anxiety.”

The Chief Medical Examiner wrote that “the fiancé’s DNA was not detected on the knife used to inflict the injuries” and that there was no evidence of an abusive relationship or a struggle at the scene. 

“With all of this information considered, it is the opinion of the undersigned that the manner of Ellen Greenberg’s death is best classified as ‘suicide,’ the report said.

In his statement, Podraza said Simon’s report was “an embarrassment to the City, and an insult to Ellen and her family.”

“Ellen’s family just wanted the truth. It is clear the truth will not come from Philadelphia’s law enforcement machinery. Though Ellen’s city turned its back on her, we will continue through other avenues to get justice for her murder, by any means necessary,” he said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office and the City of Philadelphia Law Department for comment.
