Ellen Greenberg is a first-grade teacher in Philadelphia. At 27-years-old she and longtime boyfriend Sam Goldberg have just sent out "save the date" cards for their upcoming wedding. A blizzard is bearing down on Philadelphia and school has dismissed everyone early. Sam Goldberg leaves Ellen at home around 4:45 pm to work out in the apartment complex gym. When Sam arrives back less than an hour later, the door is locked from the inside.
For more than 20 minutes, Sam pounds on the door, texts, and calls Ellen, but she doesn't reply. He breaks down the door at 6:33 pm. He finds Ellen on the floor of the kitchen, stabbed 20 times in the chest, neck, and head. As he is on the phone with 911, they ask him to perform CPR, and he tells them there is a knife still stuck in her chest. First responders arrive within minutes and Ellen is pronounced dead at 6:40 pm.
Initially, the medical examiner declares Ellen's death as a homicide, but later after meeting with police, that finding is changed to suicide. Since the medical examiner changed the manner of death from homicide to suicide without any explanation, Ellen Greenberg's parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have fought to have the ruling changed. Josh and Sandee Greenberg file a lawsuit against the city of Philadelphia, seeking to have the manner of Ellen's death changed back to homicide, or at least, undetermined, but the suit grinds to a halt when the Commonwealth Court rules against Josh and Sandee Greenberg. In the ruling, the judges acknowledged that the investigation of Ellen Greenberg's death was a “deeply flawed investigation” by the Philadelphia Police, the District Attorney’s Office, and the Medical Examiner’s Office. But none of that matters because the court says Josh and Sandee Greenberg don't have standing in the case. Attorney Joseph Podraza says they will take the case to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will now hear the Greenbergs' case, saying it will consider whether “executors and administrators of an estate have standing to challenge an erroneous finding recorded on the decedent’s death certificate where that finding constitutes a bar or material impediment to recovery of victim’s compensation, restitution or for wrongful death, as well as private criminal complaints.”
