The mystery about Chatgpt’s complainant, Suchir Balaji, continues to deepen the launch of new photos of the crime scene. While the authorities have declared him as suicide, Balaji’s parents blamed OpenAi and claim that his son was killed.
Suchir Balaji died in November after having publicly raised ethical concerns about OpenAi’s practices. Police considered his death as an act of suicide, but his family has requested an FBI investigation, since they said there were several failures in police investigation.
However, their parents Pornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy have raised around $ 85,000 to pay lawyers, researchers and forensic experts to demonstrate that their son was killed. The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, has also intervened in the case, saying that the accusations were “extremely worrying.”
The photos obtained by the Daily Mail, based in the United Kingdom, showed blood grouped next to the bathroom where the head of Suchir Balaji lay, but also splashed around the bathroom away from the body, throwing doubts about the suicide theory.

‘Blood everywhere, the looted home’
The photos of the crime scene showed one of Balaji’s wireless headphones and two mysterious strands of what seemed to be synthetic hair in blood stains in their high -end residence on Buchanan Street in San Francisco. His home also seemed to be looted, “as if someone was looking for something.”
“After seeing that there is so much blood everywhere, I don’t know how they think it is suicide, it is not seen closely,” said Balaji’s father to the Daily Mail. Since his death in November, the apartment of the former Operai employee It has barely been touched and has never been cleaned.
The UCLA pathology professor, Dineh Rao, hired by Balaji’s parents, wrote a preliminary report that contains dozens of photos that show the condition of his bedroom apartment. These images show your last meal, a half -ready meal with whole rice, still on the plastic tray in your messy desktop.

The table of his kitchen was also crowded, some of which spilled on the floor along with chocolate pieces. Rao said that these surroundings indicated the possibility of a struggle or resistance, and urged to be corroborated with other evidence collected from the scene.
One of Balaji’s headphones was found on the floor near the entrance of his room that had blood stains and hair strands. A large dry blood pool was located on the outskirts of the bathroom door, along with the other headset and a red shopping bag.
Rao criticized police investigation as “incomplete and inappropriate” that lost vital clues such as false hair and headphones, which called “a very serious mistake.” He said that the disturbing scenes of the crime site were “more likely in homicidal death scenes and rarely observed themselves in alleged suicidal cases.”
The private autopsy showed that Balaji was shot
Rao also said that splatter blood was dripping to the floor from the door and the door frame. There were also drops of blood through the bathroom, in the cabinet next to the sink and in the cabinet handle. He said that some of the drops seemed to have fallen while the victim was sitting or possibly crawling, and some may have been coughing.
More alarming, Balaji’s mother, Pornima Ramarao, said that a private autopsy that he paid showed that the victim was shot from above, and the bullet entered her nose and staying just below the back of her skull. She said the bullet completely lost her brain and he bleed up for 15-30 minutes until death at the bathroom door.
In addition, the autopsy showed that Balaji had a second trauma wound on the side of his head. His parents have theorized that the victim was attacked from behind while listening to music and cleaned his teeth, and his head crashed into the wall or cabinet.
After fighting, Balaji was probably arrested on his knees or sitting, and shot in the head. As the wound was not fatal, it survived for a few minutes and left the bathroom before dying of blood loss. The father of the deceased engineer said the apartment was looted because the murderer was looking for a storage device that had condemnatory evidence.
Balaji’s weapon, a Glock gun that the records show that he bought on January 4, 2024, was found near his body, along with a 9 mm ammunition box in his closet with six missing rounds. One of the rounds was found in the arms case, which included the registration of the sale, another four in another place and one not accounted for.
Balaji’s father, Ramamurthy, said he was the last person to talk to the victim in a phone call on November 22. “I was happy, he showed no depression. He had just returned, and in the end he said:” I’m going to have dinner, I’ll talk to you later. “
Balaji was Franco about the ethical and legal concerns he found during his mandate in Operai. In an interview with The New York Times Shortly before his death, he affirmed that the company’s AI models had been trained in material with the copyright scratched of the Internet without adequate authorization.
