Investigators reopen case of Philadelphia teacher killed in 2011

The cause of death of Philadelphia school teacher Ellen Greenberg, who was found brutally stabbed in 2011, will be reinvestigated after a pathologist who previously ruled her death a suicide reversed course last week.

Greenberg was 27 when she was found dead on Jan. 26 2011 with a kitchen knife lodged in her chest. She was discovered inside the Philadelphia apartment she shared with her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg.

Goldberg had returned home from the gym that evening to discover he was locked out of the apartment because the swing bar lock was engaged from the inside. He eventually was able to force the door open, where he found Ellen and called 911, according to the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s investigation report.

She had 20 stab wounds, including 10 to her neck and head according to her autopsy report.
