The stabbing death of\u00a027-year-old schoolteacher Ellen Greenberg<\/a><\/span>\u00a0has been ruled as a suicide by the city of Philadelphia once again – marking a huge blow to her family’s 14-year fight for answers.<\/p>\n

Greenberg was found dead on January 26, 2011, inside the sixth-floor apartment she shared with her fianc\u00e9 Sam Goldberg in the safe neighborhood of Manayunk, Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

She had been stabbed 20 times, including 10 times to the back of the neck and head, and her body was covered in bruises in various stages of healing.\u00a0A 10-inch kitchen knife was sticking out of her chest.<\/p>\n

Despite the extent and nature of her wounds, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a suicide.<\/p>\n

It’s a ruling Greenberg’s parents Sandee and Josh have never believed.<\/p>\n

For the past 14 years, they have thrown everything into legal battles and hiring investigators, experts and pathologists who have cast doubts on the official account from the city.<\/p>\n

Multiple independent experts have uncovered damning evidence they say contradicts the suicide ruling: including evidence that someone moved her body, that one of the knife wounds appears to have been inflicted post-mortem, and that the discovery of her body did not take place the way officials said.<\/p>\n

And, in February, the pathologist who carried out Greenberg’s autopsy made a spectacular U-turn, admitting he now believes he was wrong and that Greenberg did not kill herself.<\/p>\n

Now, in a bombshell 32-page review, obtained by the Daily Mail, Philadelphia’s Chief Medical Examiner Lindsay Simon announced she is standing by the city’s\u00a0controversial ruling<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
