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, declaring that the real reason for his death was not suicide, but murder.

The claim, filed in January, alleges that the SFPD covered up the crime, ruling it a suicide without carrying out an extensive examination.

Balaji, who had actually worked as a researcher at OpenAI, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment or condo last November. Attorneys state Balaji's parents, Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy, requested further investigation into his death however were told the case was already closed.

"The claim demands that the city, police department, and medical inspector release public documents kept under the general public Records Act," Joseph Goethals, lawyer for the petitioners, informed Decrypt. He said that if the documents weren't offered within 10 days, and "no legitimate exceptions use, a claim can compel 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 withholding public records of the case. Attorneys for Ramarao and Ramamurthy likewise argued that the examination into their kid's death was rushed and inadequate, with officials disregarding crucial forensic findings and failing to address their requests for further query.

The claim requires the instant disclosure of all reports, photos, and videos, along with coverage of legal expenses.

Said Geothals: "If the San Francisco Superior Court does not translate and enforce the law correctly, we will look for recourse 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 city Times in October, he said that before the public launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, he had assisted OpenAI gather and use "enormous amounts" of data taken from the internet without approval.

According to the claim, in December, Balaji's family worked with forensic pathologist Dr. Joseph Cohen to carry out a personal autopsy. In his report, Dr. Cohen figured out that there was a single gunshot injury 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 took a trip downward at a slight left-to-right angle, totally missing out on the brain before lodging in the brainstem, according to the suit. Dr. Cohen identified a contusion on the back of Balaji's head, which he said raised even more concerns about the situations of his death.

The San Francisco Police Department did not instantly react to a request for comment by Decrypt.

The claim called out the situations of Bilaji's death. His body was discovered a week after The New York Times discussed the whistleblower in a court filing associated to its claim against OpenAI.

Despite Balaji's discoveries, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pressed back on the New York Times' claims. Speaking at the paper's annual DealBook Summit, Altman dismissed the claims.
