Philadelphia woman stabbed 20 times from behind but her death still ruled a suicide

"Simon’s [Author of the MEO report] conclusion stands in direct opposition to the recent opinion of Dr. Marlon Osbourne, the very pathologist who performed Ellen’s autopsy in 2011. Earlier this year, Osbourne signed a sworn statement saying her death “should be designated as something other than suicide.”

Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman, who has closely followed the case, said the city’s renewed suicide ruling defies both science and common sense.

“It continues to be a travesty of justice, a cover up for someone with alot of influence — either because of money, position or friends in high places,” Lieberman told TheIndependent."

"Simon’s findings also run contrary to the opinions of five of seven forensic experts whose reports she reviewed – most of whom concluded the death was indicative of homicide or “not biomechanically consistent with suicide.”
