Ellen Greenberg’s Parents Say They Want the Truth About Daughter’s Death
Ellen Greenberg
Parents Reject Medical Examiner’s Suicide Ruling

Ellen Greenberg‘s parents are demanding answers after a medical examiner reconfirmed their daughter died by suicide back in 2011 … claiming the M.E. doesn’t know a thing about Ellen’s mental state at the time.
Sandee and Josh Greenberg sat for an interview with ABC News Wednesday … and, they told the outlet they still aren’t convinced of Ellen’s official cause of death.
Sandee claims from a “clinical view” there’s no evidence Sandee took her own life … questioning the medical examiner’s credibility when it comes to pointing to Ellen’s mental health state at the time … since the M.E. didn’t actually know her.
The Greenbergs finish off the interview by saying they don’t know what their future options are … but, they don’t plan on going away quietly after the M.E.’s ruling.
As we told you … Greenberg, a 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher, was found dead by her fiancé in 2011 … she had 20 stab wounds in the back of her neck and head, and a knife sticking out of her chest.
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s office initially ruled the death a homicide … before changing the determination to suicide after meeting with the Philadelphia Police Department.

Greenberg’s family pressured local officials to reopen the case in 2025 … but, the M.E. confirmed the suicide determination — closing it once again.
Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lindsay Simon released a 32-page report last week which concludes … “while the distribution of injuries is admittedly unusual, the fact remains that Ellen would be capable of inflicting these injuries herself.”
Joseph Podraza Jr., the Greenberg family attorney, blasted the review calling it “deeply flawed attempt to justify a predetermined conclusion.”

Nick Reiner
Mental Illness + Drug Use = Unsolvable Puzzle
… Substance Abuse Expert Says

Nick Reiner was an unsolvable dilemma for his parents … so says a substance abuse treatment expert.
Nick Mathews — the founder and CEO of Southern California-based treatment center Stillwater Behavioral Health — joined us on “TMZ Live,” and we asked him about Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner‘s son, who is charged with their murders.
For Mathews, Nick presented a treatment provider’s worst nightmare … he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but had been in and out of rehab for years and struggled with substance abuse.
Just listen to Mathews explain all the challenges Nick would present for the rehab centers and doctors tasked with treating him … there’s no quick, easy fix or even a cut-and-dry solution here.
Plus, Nick is an adult … and Rob and Michele couldn’t make him stay in rehab centers long enough to get the treatment he clearly needed, Mathews says.
As Mathews explains, there was a perfect storm brewing here … and now Rob and Michele are dead, and their son sounds like he’s planning to plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
Catch the full interview on “TMZ Live.”
