Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on 26 November in what police said “appeared to be a suicide. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation.” The city’s chief medical examiner’s office confirmed the manner of death to be suicide.

His parents, Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy, said they are still seeking answers, describing their son as a “happy, smart and brave young man” who loved to hike and recently had returned from a trip with friends.

What is the comment of the parents supposed to tell us? When are parents of actually suicidal children aware of their issues and open about it instead of ignoring them and wanting to make sure that the outside thinks everything is just fine?

They just said they were seeking answers. They didnt say "their son would never do this".
