Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead During Break in Depositions
Subheading: John Barnett, 62, Was a Former Quality Manager Who Raised Concerns About the Safety of Boeing's Planes
Body:
John Barnett, a 62-year-old Boeing whistleblower, was found dead with a gunshot wound in South Carolina on Saturday. Barnett had previously raised concerns about the safety of Boeing's planes and had been scheduled to give a deposition in a lawsuit against the company.
The mother of Barnett told CBS News that she believes her son was murdered. She said that he had been receiving threats and that he was afraid for his life.
Boeing released a statement saying that it is "deeply saddened" by Barnett's death. The company said that it is cooperating with the investigation into his death.
Barnett's death is the latest in a series of incidents involving Boeing. The company has been under fire for its handling of the 737 Max crisis, which resulted in the deaths of 346 people.
