OpenAI Whistleblower's Mysterious Death Spurs Inquiry

Suchir Balaji, 26, former OpenAI researcher, was found dead in his San Francisco home on November 26, 2024. While authorities quickly ruled it a suicide, his mother disputes the finding, pointing to signs of a struggle and a private autopsy suggesting foul play.

Balaji, who left OpenAI in August citing ethical concerns over copyright practices, was involved in lawsuits against the company. Elon Musk echoed the family's doubts, fueling speculation. As his family calls for an FBI investigation, the tech world watches closely for answers.
