description: "Suchir Balaji was an American artificial intelligence researcher who was found dead one month after accusing OpenAI, his former employer, of violating United States copyright law. His death drew widespread attention because of his purported whistleblower status and claims of foul play made by his parents and others. The San Francisco Police Department investigation, however, found \"no evidence of foul play\", and the Chief Medical Examiner concluded the death was a suicide."
