Boeing whistleblower who raised safety concerns found dead
A former Boeing manager who raised safety questions about the American aircraft maker has been found dead outside a hotel in South Carolina, according to local authorities.
The body of John Barnett, 62, was found last Saturday in a car outside a Holiday Inn, suffering from what the Charleston County Coroner's Office said appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Louisiana resident was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said detectives were waiting for a formal determination of the cause of death and "any additional findings that might shed further light on the circumstances surrounding" the end of Barnett's life. Police noted "the global attention this case has garnered."
