Whistleblower Found Dead

Boeing Whistleblower John Barnett Found Dead Amid Depositions Against Plane Company

The 62-year-old, who had worked at Boeing for over three decades as a quality control engineer and manager until his retirement in 2017,

John Barnett was supposed to answer questions on Saturday [2024-03-09] as part of a deposition he’d been giving earlier last week related to a legal dispute with his former employer Boeing—which has been dogged by safety concerns, some of which he had raised. But he didn’t show up.

When his legal team called him repeatedly to no avail, they eventually asked the hotel he was staying at to check in on him. That’s when Barnett was found dead in his truck in the parking lot.

The Charleston County Coroner’s Office told media that Barnett died from “what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” and that the Charleston Police Department is continuing to investigate the death.

Barnett was set to testify Saturday [2024-03-09] for what would have been “day three of his deposition here in Charleston on his AIR21 case,” referring to the shorthand for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Whistleblower Protection Program.
