Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead Amid Depositions Against Plane
Former Boeing Employee John Barnett, 62, Dies of Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound
Deceased Whistleblower Testified for Two Days Before Tragic Incident
London, England, March 28, 2024 - John Barnett, a 62-year-old former Boeing employee known for raising safety concerns, has been found dead in a hotel parking lot in South Carolina. The death, which was ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound, comes just two days after Barnett testified in depositions against the plane manufacturer.
Barnett, a former quality control manager, had blown the whistle on numerous safety issues with Boeing aircraft. His testimony was part of a larger investigation into the design and production of the company's 737 MAX jets, which have been involved in two deadly crashes in recent years.
Barnett's death has sent shockwaves through the aviation industry and among those who knew him. He was described as a conscientious and dedicated employee who was passionate about exposing safety concerns. His tragic end raises questions about the pressures that whistleblowers face and the need to protect those who speak out about corporate wrongdoing.
