Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead Amid Legal Action Against Company

A former Boeing employee known for raising concerns about the safety of its planes was found dead while working on providing a deposition as part of a lawsuit against the aviation giant, his attorneys said.

“He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on,” said the attorneys, Robert Turkewitz and Brian Knowles. “We didn’t see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it.” Boeing, in its own statement to HuffPost, said it is saddened by Barnett’s death and expressed condolences to his family and friends.

Barnett also raised concerns to the BBC in 2019 about the planes’ oxygen systems, saying that testing found a failure rate of 25%. He said that nothing was done to improve them, however.
