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 cause of his death was not suicide, but murder.
The claim, filed in January, alleges that the SFPD covered the crime, ruling it a suicide without conducting a thorough examination.
Balaji, who had actually worked as a scientist at OpenAI, was discovered dead in his San Francisco house last November. Attorneys state Balaji's moms and dads, Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy, requested further examination into his death but were the case was currently closed.
"The claim requires that the city, cops department, and medical examiner release public documents withheld 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 legitimate 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 also argued that the investigation into their kid's death was rushed and insufficient, with officials disregarding key forensic findings and failing to resolve their demands for further query.
The claim demands the instant disclosure of all reports, pictures, and videos, addsub.wiki in addition to protection of legal expenses.
Said Geothals: "If the San Francisco Superior Court does not interpret and enforce the law correctly, we will seek option with the Court of Appeal. We hope it doesn't 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 general public launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, he had assisted OpenAI gather and valetinowiki.racing use "huge amounts" of data drawn from the internet without permission.
According to the claim, annunciogratis.net in December, Balaji's household hired 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, a little to the right of the bridge of his nose.
Dr. Cohen said that the bullet trajectory was unusual for a suicide, addsub.wiki as it took a trip downward at a slight left-to-right angle, entirely missing out on the brain before lodging in the brainstem, according to the match.
