Suchir Balaji death: Indian-American techie's parents claim autopsy report reveals murder
Washington D.C./IBNS: The parents of former Indian-origin Artificial Intelligence researcher at OpenAI Suchir Balaji, who was found dead at his apartment in San Francisco, have claimed their son's autopsy report hints at murder, media reports said.
Speaking to NDTV, Suchir's parents, Balaji Ramamurthy and Purnima Ramarao, said, "We read the second autopsy, there are signs of struggle such as head injury, more details from the autopsy reveal it is murder."
The 26-year-old Indian-origin former employee previously made headlines after he accused OpenAI of violating US copyright law.
According to media reports, the Indian-origin techie died by committing suicide.
The city's Chief Medical Examiner was quoted as saying in a statement by Tech Crunch: "The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) has identified the decedent as Suchir Balaji, 26, of San Francisco. The manner of death has been determined to be suicide."
Balaji was found dead in his Buchanan Street apartment on November 26, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department told TechCrunch.
Officers and medics were called to his residence in the city’s Lower Haight district to perform a wellness check on the former OpenAI researcher. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation, police told the tech website.
Suchir Balaji's LinkedIn page shows he worked with Open AI from November 2020 to August 2024.
