John Barnett, 62, was found dead in his truck outside a hotel in Charleston South Carolina, allegedly from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was scheduled to be deposed in the Boeing Safety case but failed to show up. He was an early whistleblower who worked with Boeing for 32 years before exposing their unsafe manufacturing practices, even suing the company for ignoring his complaint.
Excerpt from www.thedailybeast.com
… ” Barnett, a 32-year Boeing veteran, told the BBC in 2019 that he’d found faulty emergency oxygen bottles while working on the 787 Dreamliner a few years prior. He sued the company after claiming it slow-walked his complaint, sidelining him and eventually pushing him into retirement. Boeing has denied wrongdoing.
