Boeing whistleblower. Worked there 30-years and was on travel giving depositions and showed up dead in the carpark. Initial report is a “self-inflicted” wound, but even if Boeing didn’t kill him, it doesn’t look good.

He ALREADY testified: he was found dead AFTER.

Barnett’s body was found in a vehicle in a Holiday Inn parking lot in Charleston on Saturday, police said. One day earlier, he testified in a deposition about the string of problems he says he identified at Boeing’s plant where he once helped inspect the 787 Dreamliner aircraft before delivery to customers.

Yes, AND he was supposed to testify more:

"He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park. "

Multi-day testimony, he only did one day. He was scheduled to testify again on Saturday. They went looking for him when he didn’t show up and that’s when they found the body.

So, to be more accurate, he was IN THE MIDDLE of testifying; he was found dead DURING the time he was supposed to be testifying.

Mid trial death of a key witness? 🤔

I’m guessing he somehow managed to shoot himself in the back of the head…5 times
