Pennsylvania Supreme Court agrees to review suicide ruling

​

Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne initially ruled her death a homicide, noting the large number of stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck.​

​

But police considered her death a suicide because her apartment door was locked from the inside and her boyfriend — who said he found her after breaking down the door — had no defensive wounds.​

​

After police publicly challenged the findings, Osbourne switched the ruling to suicide without explanation.​

I read about this and couldn’t believe that it was ruled a suicide in the beginning. The court ruled that the parents do not have the legal right to petition for a challenge to the medical examiner‘s report.

This is a very strange case that an individual could / would stab themselves twenty times and this is rule a suicide.
One stab in the heart and this person would had ended their life. IMHO

This sounds like the plot to an episode of Death in Paradise... Except the master detective would then come to show how it actually was a Suicide even though it "obviously couldn't have been". Outside of fun British TV shows however, it smells real fishy to me.

... and stabbed from behind? Suicide? It sounds like a conspiracy within the police force and legal system.
