John Barnett, 62, had worked for Boeing for 32 years before retiring. He raised a number of concerns about the company's production standards.

A Boeing whistleblower who raised concerns about the company's production standards was found dead days after testifying against the company.

The Charleston County Coroner's Office in South Carolina told Scripps News that Barnett died on March 9 of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found dead in his truck in a hotel parking lot. In 2019, Barnett had spoken out about a number of issues with the aircraft production company to the BBC. He claimed workers under pressure were deliberately putting substandard parts on planes, saying in some cases parts had even been brought back from scrap bins and fitted to planes to prevent delays.
