When reached for comment regarding Barnett’s death, Boeing issued a statement saying,
“We are saddened by Mr. Barnett’s passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends.”

Such a nice company.

The above posts seem to suggest a belief that the man died by murder, not suicide.
But his testimony so far has acted as a spur for a deeper investigation into the working of Boeing and its suppliers.
It must be borne in mind that he left the company much before the current issues cropped up, I may be wrong on that.
Meanwhile, there may be a possibility that the competing Russian aircraft is nearing certification, another attention grabbing issue for Boeing.

He did leave a while back, but his testimony as a former quality manager was that their QC had declined considerably some time ago and he had raised it and suffered retaliation from colleagues. He died before he could make his deposition to the court. Moreover, his legal team reported he was in 'good spirits' that week, making a point that he was looking forward to giving his evidence and drawing a line under the matter.

At least he did not accidentally fall out of a window.
We wouldn't want to be derivative.
Had to laugh the other day when I saw a bloke from the US on the TV talking about the 737 story and pronouncing the company name 'Boing' - I straight away thought of the panel springing off...
We called it "The Spring Factory"... 'cause it goes, Boing! Boing!
The plot thickens:
'If anything happens to me, it’s not suicide,’ friend of dead Boeing whistleblower says he told her.
