After resigning and sharing his insights with the NYT, he was found deceased in his San Francisco apartment. Updates/Clarifications:1. No forced entry was found in Suchir's apartment.2. No cameras were present on Suchir's floor (4th floor), and one elevator camera was disabled. However, the main, first floor had one operational camera.3. Suchir suffered a maxillary fracture, with a puncture on his tongue, raising suspicions of a second incident.4. Correction: Wellbutrin does not contain amphetamine.
