According to reports, when Goldberg dialed 911, dispatchers told him to begin CPR — but he was told to stop once he realized there was a knife lodged in Ellen’s chest.
When officers arrived that night, they noted there were no signs of forced entry, no defensive injuries on Ellen, and no indication that a struggle had taken place.
At first, Assistant Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne ruled her death a homicide, but just two weeks later, after meeting with Philadelphia police, he changed the classification to suicide, abruptly closing the criminal investigation.
Ellen’s father is furious
Officials concluded that Ellen had stabbed herself 20 times — a finding her parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, have fiercely rejected. Their daughter’s body also showed 11 bruises in various stages of healing.
“Ellen stabbing herself 20 times before dying is bullst. She died from a very vicious, very painful knife attack,**” her father told The Daily Mail.
Ellen’s father, Josh Greenberg, told Dateline he believes the medical examiner changed the ruling to suicide simply to match what police investigators wanted.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the examiner had been informed that authorities were “leaning” toward suicide and were looking into any “mental issues” Ellen might have had.
