Ellen Greenberg Case Philadelphia Court Closes Review, Family Vows to Continue Fight Amid Hulu Documentary

The Philadelphia court recently closed its long-awaited review of the Ellen Greenberg case, reaffirming the Medical Examiner's 2011 ruling that the beloved Manayunk teacher’s death was a suicide. Ellen Greenberg was found stabbed more than 20 times in her apartment in 2011, an unsettling fact that has fueled controversy for over a decade. According to the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s 32-page report released in October 2025, Greenberg inflicted the wounds on herself, citing her diagnosed anxiety and stress related to her teaching job as factors, according to 6abc Action News.

The medical examiner’s conclusion remains deeply disputed by Ellen’s family. Her parents and attorneys call the ruling “an embarrassment” and allege that critical evidence—including 3D wound recreations, bruising, and missing surveillance footage—was ignored or downplayed in the official reports. They are refusing to accept the city’s official stance and have vowed to continue seeking justice outside Philadelphia’s jurisdiction. “We are not going away, and we’re not giving up,” said Sandee Greenberg in a recent exclusive interview reports say.

Adding a new dimension to this ongoing saga is the Hulu documentary series Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg? Premiered in late September 2025, the three-part docuseries digs into the case with interviews, expert analyses, and never-before-seen footage, aiming to raise awareness and reexamine the mysterious circumstances. The series follows the Greenbergs’ tireless legal battle and brings their story to a broader audience, according to the official ABC News press release.

Although the court’s closure symbolizes the end of official review, the Greenberg family's relentless quest for truth continues. Their fight highlights powerful issues around investigative transparency and showcases the impact of determined family advocacy amid unresolved questions. The Hulu documentary has reignited public interest, ensuring that Ellen Greenberg’s story—and the mysterious circumstances of her death—remain in the spotlight for years to come.
