Medical Examiner's Office Says Autopsy Confirms That OpenAI Whistleblower Died By Suicide
Briefly

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in San Francisco has concluded that Suchir Balaji's death was a suicide caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. This assertion, however, does not align with the beliefs of his family, who argue against the suicide ruling, citing their son's recently expressed happiness and suspecting foul play. Their skepticism is fueled by Balaji's role as a whistleblower against OpenAI for alleged copyright violations. The SFPD also supports the suicide conclusion, noting a lack of evidence for homicide, amidst ongoing family legal actions for further investigation transparency.
The OCME found no evidence or information to establish a cause and manner of death for Mr. Balaji other than a suicide by self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Balaji's Bay Area parents have steadfastly maintained that Balaji did not take his own life, that he was happy prior to his death, and they suspect foul play.
