The parents of departed OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji have actually taken legal action against the city of San Francisco and the San Francisco Police Department, alleging that the genuine reason for his death was not suicide, but murder.
The claim, submitted in January, alleges that the SFPD concealed the crime, ruling it a suicide without carrying out a comprehensive investigation.
Balaji, who had actually worked as a researcher at OpenAI, was discovered dead in his San Francisco home last November. Attorneys state Balaji's moms and dads, Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy, asked for further examination into his death but were informed the case was currently closed.
"The claim demands that the city, authorities department, and medical inspector release public files withheld under the general public Records Act," Joseph Goethals, lawyer 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 oblige their release. We will seek 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 essential forensic findings and failing to address their demands for additional questions.
The claim demands the immediate disclosure of all reports, photos, and videos, together with protection of legal costs.
