100% they killed him
Burn one for another dead hero, folks.
What would be the correct expression? Someone has committed this whistleblowers suicide?

He is the reason some people wants the US to be a bit more like Russia. Yeah, no, this wasn't a suicide, this was to stop the case that he himself had embarked on a long-running legal action on and that he had been in Charleston for legal interviews for. This stops the case in its tracks.
“John was in the midst of a deposition in his whistleblower retaliation case, which finally was nearing the end,” Knowles and his co-counsel Robert Turkewitz said in a statement to TIME. “He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. We didn’t see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it.”

Please don't reply if you are just going to spam "BuT sUiCiDe". If that's false, he's just another casualty of Boeing. If that's true, he's just another casualty of Boeing.
Funny how he takes his own life in an hotel car park, and no one hears it. Let me guess, he also happened to buy the gun and get the gun permit the same day ... His anxiety never manifested as suicidal tendencies, and if anything, taking action had decreased it.

Seems legit.
Yesterday I've read a joke about something like that exactly about audits and proceedings connected to Boeing's recent accidents.
I thought this is satire first.
America is a truly sick society
The right thing to do would be to seize Boeing, take it away from its shareholders, hold and interrogate the major shareholders, and regardless of the outcome of interrogations the company should never return to the public. Either dismantle and sell every pathetic asset, or run it as a public company. This is a no-brainer, they should not be allowed to continue with business as usual even if no one is found guilty or no direct link is established.

Also found this article with more details but wtf is this website? I've never heard of it? Sketchy? Legit? I have no clue.

Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing.
I'm sure they were distraught.
This is something I thought would be on the Onion.
