Chandra described him as a hardworking and positive person who had no known health problems.
Still, he noted that Pandey had told his roommate and colleagues he was under heavy stress from handling many projects at once.
His uncle, Manoj Pandey, said friends and roommates shared that he often worked for very long hours.
Police said they found no suspicious activity and are not treating the case as a criminal matter.
Pandey was originally from India and moved to the United States a decade ago to pursue his master’s degree at San Jose State University.
He joined Microsoft in 2020 and had previously worked at Apple, Illumina, and Walmart Labs.
After his death, his uncle called on tech companies to take better care of employees who work late at night.
He said companies should reduce workplace pressure and anxiety to help save lives.
He added that losing a loved one brings deep pain to families, and more support from companies could prevent such tragedies.

In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.
In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
