OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji's parents have sued the City of San Francisco in their quest to prove he was murdered.
The tech prodigy, 26, who just a month earlier revealed the company's dubious methods of training ChatGPT, was found dead on November 26.
Balaji was sprawled next to his bathroom door with a gunshot wound to the head and blood all over part of his apartment in San Francisco's Mint Hill neighborhood.
His parents Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy insist he couldn't have killed himself, and are furious police took just 40 minutes to rule his death a suicide.
They claim their efforts to prove to have been hampered by the city's refusal to release the police incident report and other case files to them.
A lawsuit filed in the San Francisco Superior Court demands a court order granting them access to the documents.
'In the two-plus months since their son’s passing, petitioners and their counsel have been stymied at every turn as they have sought more information about the cause of and circumstances surrounding Suchir’s tragic death,' it read.
Their lawyer, Kevin Rooney, argued the city was violating the California Public Records Act with its refusal.
