OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji's moms and dads have actually taken legal action against the City of San Francisco in their mission to show he was murdered.

The tech prodigy, 26, who just a month earlier revealed the business's dubious methods of training ChatGPT, was found dead on November 26.

Balaji was sprawled beside his bathroom door with a gunshot injury to the head and blood all over part of his apartment or condo in San Francisco's Mint Hill community.

His moms and dads Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy insist he couldn't have killed himself, and rage police took just 40 minutes to rule his death a suicide.

They claim their efforts to prove to have been obstructed by the city's refusal to release the authorities event report and other case files to them.

A claim submitted in the San Francisco Superior Court demands a court order granting them access to the files.

'In the two-plus months given that their kid's passing, petitioners and their counsel have actually been stymied at every turn as they have actually looked for more details about the reason for and scenarios surrounding Suchir's terrible death,' it read.

The claim accused authorities of trying to have it both methods by saying the case was closed, but then rejecting access to the files due to the fact that the case was still open.

'This contradiction is causing a hold-up that is illegal and unjustified,' Rooney wrote.

Balaji's moms and dads hired Joseph Cohen, previous chief forensic pathologist of Riverside County, California, to conduct a second autopsy in December.

Ramarao earlier informed DailyMail.com she wouldn't launch the outcomes until after the Los Angeles Medical Examiner launched its report, which is due by 90 days his death.

The claim noted some of the outcomes, however did not reveal its findings on whether Balaji took his own life, or if it identified another way of death.

'Dr Cohen, determined that Suchir had actually suffered a single gunshot injury to the mid-forehead, between his eyebrows and somewhat to the right of the bridge of the nose,' the claim detailed.

'In what Dr Cohen defined as atypical and uncommon in suicides, he noted that the trajectory of the bullet was down with a slight left to best angle. He likewise kept in mind that the bullet completely missed out on the brain before boring and lodging in the brain stem.

Rooney mentioned that Balaji's parents asked about the status of the examination, however did not receive an official response.

'Informally, SFPD authorities informed petitioners' counsel that homicide detectives briefly re-opened the examination, examined closed circuit recordings from Suchir's building, and shortly thereafter closed the examination again, concluding that Suchir had actually committed suicide,' the claim read.

A key factor for the suicide judgment is that nobody was seen on CCTV entering a location of the structure where they might have entered into Balaji's home.

However, his parents claimed there were 2 entryways that were not kept track of by security cameras.

Balaji's last hours alive

Ramamurthy was the last known individual to speak with Balaji, in a call at 7.12 pm on November 22 that may just have actually been hours before he passed away.

Balaji had actually simply returned from a vacation to Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles, with some friends, who were previous associates or worked in tech, for his birthday a day previously.

They spoke for 15 minutes about his trip, the walkings he performed in LA, the weather, and the birthday cash Balaji would quickly be sent.

Ramamurthy asked him if he wanted to go to an exhibition in January together, and he said, 'Sure, let's see, I'll think of it'.

'I asked do you plan to visit us and he said, "Not immediately",' he remembered.

'He was pleased, he didn't show any anxiety. He had actually just returned, and in the end he said, 'I'm choosing dinner, I'll speak to you later on.' Usually, he goes out for supper.'
