The family of a dead Boeing whistleblower says that they hold the aircraft manufacturer responsible for his death, even if the company had not “pulled the trigger”.
John Barnett, 62, a quality control engineer at Boeing for 32 years, was found dead at a South Carolina hotel in March, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A coroner later ruled that he died by suicide. At the time he was testifying in a lawsuit against the aircraft manufacturer.
