The mysterious death of John Barnett, a former senior employee of Boeing who exposed safety issues with the company’s aircraft, has caught the attention of the global public. While the South Carolina Coroner’s Office determined that Barnett died from an apparent “self-inflicted injury,” his close friend and attorney are refuting this claim.
Barnett, who had worked for Boeing for over 30 years before retiring in 2017, had been vocal about the safety concerns surrounding the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. He had provided evidence in a lawsuit against Boeing and had expressed concerns about potential retaliation from the company.
According to Barnett’s friend Jennifer, he had a premonition that something might happen to him and had explicitly stated that he would never commit suicide. Jennifer believes that Barnett was threatened by someone who wanted to silence him, potentially a representative from Boeing.
Barnett’s attorney, Brian Knowles, also stated that Barnett was in good spirits and had shown no signs of wanting to take his own life. Knowles reiterated that Barnett was not afraid of retaliation but had always been prepared to fight against Boeing for the safety of passengers.
As investigations into Barnett’s death continue, the public is left questioning the circumstances surrounding the death of the Boeing “whistleblower.” Many are calling for a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind Barnett’s untimely demise.
