The San Francisco medical examiner's office determined his death to be suicide and police found no evidence of foul play.

Does anyone else find it statistically significant how often whistle blowers commit suicide within a few days of releasing information or making a statement?

One minute they’re all like “if I die it’s definitely not suicide” and the next they are changing their mind and going through with it…

I guess the apartment windows didn't open otherwise he would have been thrown himself out of it, I'm sure

Well this will certainly be more of a thing.

Maybe next time they can fall out of a balcony they didn't actually have to make it SUPER OBVIOUS what just happened.

Need to make sure they only stay in first floor locations or places without windows. Whistle blowers gonna be pushed out of windows just like Daddy Vladdy likes.

It's funny how all those who blow whistles are so suicidal

And how suddenly the police does not feel the need for a huge manhunt to find the assassin

Whistles, a gateway to suicide.

"Whistleblower" because he had a negative opinion on his former company?

he was an important informant in an OpenAI lawsuit

We can’t ask the coroner what happened, because they are out on their new boat.

C'mon, we can't expect the coroner to blow the whistle on the actual cause of death. If we did, there would soon be no coroners left.

Hah! That’s good.
