San Francisco Police have rule out homicide in the death of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji following an autopsy report. The latest findings have confirmed conclusion of the initial investigation carried out by the police.
The autopsy report revealed that there was no evidence to prove that the Indian American man was murdered. Balaji, 26, was found dead with a gunshot to his head on November 26, 2024.

Police initially established that Balaji’s gunshot wound was self-inflicted, concluding that he died by suicide. The autopsy report has now confirmed their findings.
Following this, the San Francisco police and the medical examiners said the investigation into the death of the Indian American has been closed officially.
"SFPD conducted an independent investigation and based on the information SFPD reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to find Mr. Balaji’s death was the result of a homicide," stated the report by the medical examiner.

Balaji’s parents, however, alleged that the police failed to get the CCTV footage from his building. They also raised concerns about not finding a death note.
On February 15, his mother Poornima Rao took to X, saying they want a transparent probe. She tagged Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s FBI director pick Kash Patel in the post along with businnessman Mario Nawfal with whom she had an interview last month.
Balaji, who worked at OpenAI for four years, left the firm after discovering that the ChatGPT-owner trained chatbots using copyright material. A day before his death, he was listed in a court filing as part of a lawsuit against OpenAI, which further raised suspicions.
