Family of Boeing whistleblower found dead in his truck outside a hotel make shocking claim against aviation giant

The grieving family of a Boeing whistleblower who was found dead in his truck after taking his own life has filed a lawsuit against the aviation giant.

John Barnett, 62, was found dead inside his truck outside a Holiday Inn in Charleston, South Carolina, in March 2024.

He was due to testify against Boeing in a suit he brought against the airline, and in his suicide note he wrote 'f**k Boeing.'

Now, his family have filed a wrongful death suit in South Carolina, accusing Boeing of harassing and intimidating their former employee of 32 years after he raised concerns about safety measures.

Barnett was employed as a quality manager at the airline for 32 years before he retired in 2017.

In 2019, he went public with his allegations against the company, claiming under-pressure workers were deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the assembly line.

The suit states: 'The weight of years of harassment, abuse and humiliation became too much for John to bear, and he took his own life.'

'Boeing may not have pulled the trigger, but Boeing’s conduct was the clear cause, and the clear foreseeable cause, of John’s death.'
