Overview

• In a televised interview, Sam Altman said Suchir Balaji "committed suicide" and that the available evidence "looks like a suicide."
• Tucker Carlson disputed that conclusion, alleging signs of a struggle, cut surveillance wires, blood in multiple rooms, and a wig at the scene.
• Elon Musk posted "He was murdered" after the interview, intensifying public attention without new official findings.
• Police and the medical examiner previously cited a dead‑bolted door, a firearm registered to Balaji, gunshot residue on his hands, and alcohol plus amphetamines in toxicology.
• Balaji’s parents reject the ruling, point to a private autopsy, and urge an FBI review, while no new investigation or forensic reversal has been announced.
