SANTA CLARA — Silicon Valley Congressman Ro Khanna on Wednesday called for a “full and transparent” investigation into the death of Suchir Balaji, the OpenAI whistleblower who gained national attention last year after publicly claiming the company violated federal copyright laws. Khanna’s request — made in an apparent exchange on the social media site X with Balaji’s mother — came weeks after the whistleblower’s family began publicly questioning a preliminary determination by the San Francisco County Medical Examiner’s Office that the 26-year-old man died of suicide nearly two months ago inside his San Francisco apartment.
