ChainCatcher message, the mother of 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji posted on platform X stating that Suchir Balaji's apartment was ransacked, there were signs of a struggle in the bathroom, and based on bloodstains, it seems someone fought him in the bathroom. However, authorities closed the case as 'suicide'.

It is reported that on December 14, 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji was recently found dead in his apartment in San Francisco. Suchir left OpenAI earlier this year and publicly raised concerns that the company allegedly violated U.S. copyright law while developing the ChatGPT chatbot. Sewell, the executive director of the San Francisco Chief Medical Examiner's Office, stated: 'The cause of death has been determined to be suicide.'
It is worth noting that Musk himself has a complicated relationship with OpenAI. In March of this year, Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman in San Francisco Superior Court for breach of contract. Musk stated in the lawsuit that Altman and OpenAI violated an agreement reached at the founding of the artificial intelligence research company, which was to develop technology for the benefit of humanity rather than for profit. Musk claimed that OpenAI's recent relationship with tech giant Microsoft has undermined the company's original commitment to public, open-source general artificial intelligence.
