this is so corrupt but why??
A city medical examiner noted 11 bruises on Ellen’s body. He described them “in various stages of resolution,” implying she’d received them over the course of days or weeks. The photographs showed them clearly and suggested that the pathologist had undercounted.
Ellen had one bruise on her abdomen, three more above her right knee, three more on her right thigh. She had a large, dark bruise on her upper right arm, just below the shoulder. She had three more on her right forearm, including a vivid round one near the wrist.
Then there were the knife wounds. The medical examiner counted 20 of those. One went through her chest muscles and pierced her liver. One cut her aorta, the largest artery in the body; she lost more than a quart of blood. One cut the dura mater, the membrane surrounding her spinal column. Another went more than three inches deep, near the base of her skull, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage, or bleeding stroke.
On January 27, 2011, the day after Ellen died, Dr. Marlon Osbourne wrote that she’d been “stabbed by another person.” He ruled her death a homicide.
But police investigators reached a different conclusion, one that continues to astonish her parents, her friends, and more than 163,000 people who have signed a petition demanding justice for Ellen Greenberg.
The police said Ellen had killed herself. And after a meeting with law enforcement officials, the medical examiner changed her cause of death to suicide.

She had 20 knife wounds and at least 11 bruises. Authorities said she killed herself
Ellen Greenberg was found dead in 2011 in her Philadelphia apartment with a knife in her chest. Despite contradictory evidence, her death was ruled a suicide. Years later, her parents are still fighting to find the truth.
