BBC: "Boeing whistleblower found dead in US"

  • A former Boeing employee known for raising concerns about the firm's production standards has been found dead

The BBC with the report on this man's death:

  • John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017. In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.
  • The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday. It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

Quality and safety issues are a major concern for Boeing. In a sense, it looks like they've claimed another life. Hopefully there is no foul play involved.

Poor man. RIP.
