The mother of Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher, tweeted that Mr. Balaji's apartment had been ransacked, that there were signs of a fight in the bathroom and, judging by blood, that someone appeared to have beaten him in the bathroom. However, the authorities closed the case only as "suicide". Mr. Musk responded, "This doesn't look like suicide."
