OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on November 26, just three months after he accused the company of violating copyright laws during ChatGPT’s development. While the police have classified his death as a suicide, his parents have challenged this conclusion.
The grieving family hired a private investigator and conducted a second autopsy, which they claim contradicts the police’s version. Speaking at a vigil for the 26-year-old, his family said he was “happy" and showed no signs of “depression". They also highlighted troubling details, including blood stains in the bathroom and signs of a possible struggle.
A touching video of Balaji’s father and mother talking about their son’s death has gone viral on social media.

In the video, Suchir Balaji’s father, Balagi Ramamurthy, says, “I was the last person to talk to him. He was happy more, not depressed or anything. And it was his birthday week."
His mother, Poornima Ramaro, then claims, “He made plans to see us in January. That was the last phone conversation he had with anyone. He went into his apartment and never came out."
