FAMILY FURY BRIDE ELLEN STABBED 20X RULED SUICIDE AGAIN IN SHOCK RPT: COVERUP?
A review of past findings in Ellen Greenberg's death is complete. The Chief Medical Examiner of Philadelphia, Dr Lindsay Simon, issued a 32-page report and writes: since Ellen was anxious over grades she had given her elementary school students, and, because she was capable of inflicting over 20 stab wounds to the head, chest, neck, and back, her death is ruled a suicide. Simon writes "many of these stab and incised wounds would best be categorized as hesitation wounds". The report also notes the lack of defensive wounds. The pathologist performing Greenberg's autopsy in 2011 documented 20 wounds, Simon's report includes 23.
In the Final Analysis of Ellen's Death, Dr Lindsay Simon, Chief Medical Examiner of Philadelphia, writes: "Ellen was found dead in her apartment with twenty-three stab and incised wounds. These wounds were limited to her posterior head/neck, right neck, and central front torso. While the distribution of injuries is admittedly unusual, the fact remains that Ellen would be capable of inflicting these injuries herself. Many of these stab and incised wounds would best be categorized as hesitation wounds. No defensive injuries were identified on her body. There was no evidence to indicate Ellen was incapacitated or incapable of defending herself."
Simon says "the fiancé's DNA was not detected on the knife used to inflict the injuries. His self-reported timeline of events is corroborated by phone logs, text messages, surveillance footage, keycard swipes, and police interviews. No evidence was provided to indicate Ellen was in an abusive relationship with her fiancé. There was no evidence of a third party being in the apartment on the day of Ellen's death, nor was anyone else's DNA detected on the knife used to inflict the injuries on Ellen's body. No findings of a struggle were found at the scene, and no valuables missing.
Simon concludes, " The manner of Ellen Greenberg's death is best classified as "Suicide". All opinions stated in this report are expressed with a reasonable degree of medical certainty. Dr Simon ends with "the undersigned reserves the right to amend any statements or opinions if presented with additional significant information."
