OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji's parents have taken legal action against the City of San Francisco in their quest to prove he was murdered.

Balaji was sprawled next to his bathroom door with a gunshot wound to the head and blood all over part of his apartment in San Francisco's Mint Hill neighborhood.

His moms and dads Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy insist he couldn't have actually eliminated himself, and are furious authorities took simply 40 minutes to rule his death a suicide.

They claim their efforts to prove to have been obstructed by the city's refusal to launch the authorities incident 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 death, petitioners and their counsel have been stymied at every turn as they have looked for more details about the reason for and situations surrounding Suchir's terrible death,' it read.

'This contradiction is triggering a hold-up that is illegal and unjustified,' Rooney composed.

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

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

The claim listed some of the results, but did not reveal its findings on whether Balaji took his own life, or if it figured out another way of death.

'Dr Cohen, figured out that Suchir had actually suffered a single gunshot wound to the mid-forehead, in between his eyebrows and slightly to the right of the bridge of the nose,' the claim detailed.

'In what Dr Cohen defined as irregular and uncommon in suicides, he kept in mind that the trajectory of the bullet was downward with a slight left to ideal angle. He also kept in mind that the bullet entirely missed out on the brain before perforating and lodging in the brain stem.

'Significantly, Dr Cohen also kept in mind a contusion to the back of Suchir's head.'

The claim explained how personnel form the medical inspector's office handed Ramarao the house secrets and informed her she could obtain his body the next day.

'The representative also told Ms Ramarao that she ought to not be enabled to see Suchir's body and that his face had actually been destroyed when a bullet went through his eye,' it read.

Rooney mentioned that Balaji's moms and dads inquired about the status of the examination, however did not get an official response.

'Informally, SFPD authorities informed petitioners' counsel that homicide investigators briefly re-opened the examination, evaluated closed circuit recordings from Suchir's structure, and quickly thereafter closed the examination again, concluding that Suchir had actually devoted suicide,' the claim read.

A key reason for the suicide ruling is that nobody was seen on CCTV going into an area of the structure where they could have gone into Balaji's apartment or condo.

However, his parents claimed there were two entryways that were not kept an eye on by security electronic cameras.

The city is yet to submit a response to the claim, and decreased to comment.

The hair has only been physically taken a look at and will soon undergo laboratory tests, in addition to blood samples, to learn what it is made from and if there was anybody else's DNA at the scene.

Inside the bathroom were drops of blood across the tiles, on the cabinet next to the sink, and on the cabinet deal with, on the other side of the space.

After combating back, he was pulled up onto his knees or sitting down, and shot in the head. As the injury wasn't fatal, he survived for some minutes and got out of the restroom before dying from blood loss.

'A 10-minute struggle, most likely,' his daddy said.

Rao slammed the cops investigation as 'incomplete and insufficient' that missed vital ideas like the phony hair and earbuds, which he called 'a really severe mistake'.

'Will have a major influence on the understanding of the way of death, besides helping the alleged suspect (if any) to leave from the crime and including more speculations surrounding the death,' he wrote.

Rao composed that the disturbed scenes were 'more most likely seen in homicidal death scene and seldom observed in alleged self-destructive cases'.
