The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office reaffirmed that Ellen Greenberg's 2011 death was a suicide, citing her capability to self-inflict 20 stab wounds and the absence of signs of struggle or an intruder. The fiancé's gym alibi was corroborated by surveillance video, keycard swipes, and other evidence, and his DNA was not found on the knife. Greenberg experienced anxiety related to her teaching duties and feared grade reporting would reveal inflated scores; she discussed these concerns with friends, co-workers, and her fiancé and was under psychiatric care. Investigators noted unusual wound distribution but maintained self-infliction was possible.
