https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/boeing-whistleblower-john-barnett-found-dead-days-testifying-against-company
--- Quote ---The whistleblower that publicly raised doubts about Boeing's production standards has reportedly been found dead.
The Charleston County Coroner's Office told the BBC that John Barnett, 62, died from a self-inflicted wound on Saturday. According to the BBC, Barnett was cross-examined by Boeing's lawyers and his own attorney days before he died.
The court planned for Barnett to answer more questions on Saturday, but he did not appear as planned.
The BBC reported that he was later found dead in his truck, which was parked in a hotel parking garage.

This makes you go hmmmmmmmm......................
Old n Grumpy:
Probably more likely he died from clintonicide
Airwolf:
I saw the story on the news. Strange indeed .
Drafe Hoblin:
-Ever been in a parking-garage that isn't loaded with surveillance-cams?
In this case, me 'n Friedrich Nietzsche (you are your own worst enemy) can only conclude that Barnett lost perspective and let things spiral out of control going-into last weekend.
Does Boeing have a DEI problem? -Looks like it. But hundreds-of-thousands are following every move that Boeing has been making lately... and a 'major scandal' just isn't developing in a way that murder would be an option to get an individual, department, or team off some pending hook.

Boeing whistleblower found dead of a gunshot wound; didn't finish testimony against the company

--- Quote ---John Barnett, 62, worked for Boeing for 32 years. Prior to his retirement in 2017, he worked on the 787 Dreamliner as a quality manager at the Boeing factory in North Charleston, South Carolina.
Barnett recently became involved in a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing, blasting the company for allegedly retaliating against him for detailing possible safety issues at the aerospace and defense corporation's factories. He was poised last week to continue with his pretrial deposition but never showed up.
Barnett was found dead Saturday in his truck outside his South Carolina hotel, reported the BBC.
The Charleston County Coroner told the BBC that the Boeing whistleblower died from a "self-inflicted" wound and that police were investigating.

This gets more bizarre. John Barnett was to testify before he died under suspicious circumstances.
