The moms and dads of departed OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji have taken legal action against the city of San Francisco and the San Francisco Police Department, alleging that the genuine cause of his death was not suicide, but murder.

The claim, filed in January, declares that the SFPD concealed the criminal offense, ruling it a suicide without performing a thorough examination.

Balaji, who had actually worked as a scientist at OpenAI, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment last November. Attorneys say Balaji's parents, Poornima Ramarao and trademarketclassifieds.com Balaji Ramamurthy, asked for further investigation into his death however were told the case was already closed.

"The claim requires that the city, cops department, and medical examiner release public documents kept under the general public Records Act," Joseph Goethals, attorney for the petitioners, informed Decrypt. He said that if the files weren't supplied within 10 days, and "no valid exceptions use, a claim can force their release. We will look for a court order to obtain them."

The claim claims that SFPD breached the California Public Records Act by unlawfully keeping public records of the case. Attorneys for Ramarao and Ramamurthy likewise argued that the examination into their child's death was hurried and wiki.lafabriquedelalogistique.fr inadequate, with officials ignoring key forensic findings and failing to address their requests for more query.

The claim requires the instant disclosure of all reports, wiki.vst.hs-furtwangen.de photos, and larsaluarna.se videos, fishtanklive.wiki in addition to protection of legal expenses.

Said Geothals: "If the San Francisco Superior Court does not analyze and impose the law correctly, we will seek option with the Court of Appeal. We hope it does not pertain to that."

Balaji worked for OpenAI from November 2020 to August 2024. In an interview with The New York Times in October, he said that before the general public launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, he had actually helped OpenAI collect and use "massive amounts" of information drawn from the web without approval.

According to the claim, in December, Balaji's family worked with forensic pathologist Dr. Joseph Cohen to perform a personal autopsy. In his report, Dr. Cohen determined that there was a single gunshot wound in the mid-forehead, slightly to the right of the bridge of his nose.

Dr. Cohen said that the bullet trajectory was unusual for a suicide, as it traveled downward at a slight left-to-right angle, totally missing the brain before lodging in the brainstem, according to the match. Dr. Cohen identified a contusion on the back of Balaji's head, which he said raised even more concerns about the scenarios of his death.
