Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead After Giving Evidence in Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------------

A former manager at Boeing who became a whistleblower has been found
dead in South Carolina. According to the BBC, John Barnett had given
evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company in recent days.
The Charleston County coroner said Barnett died of a "self-inflicted"
wound on Friday. Barnett had worked at Boeing for 32 years before
retiring in 2017. He later spoke to The New York Times about problems at
a Boeing South Carolina plant that manufactures the 787 Dreamliner
aircraft.
