Whether he was murdered by Boeing or whether he was driven to suicide by thir harrassment and intimidation does not make much material difference.
Boeing is the direct cause of the death of a whistleblower warning about the substandard quality of its airplanes.
Until companies like Boeing and CEOs pay a high price for crimes against whistleblowers, fraud and corruption, they will find it more lucrative, more profitable than making good, quality products.
Quality products require a vast research budget, a costly staff of highly skilled engineers, top notic manufacturing processes with quality controls.
All this costs a huge amount of money and cuts into profits.

The family of John Barnett, a former Boeing quality control manager who became a prominent whistleblower over aviation safety concerns, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the aerospace giant, accusing it of a campaign of harassment and intimidation that they allege led directly to his suicide.
Mr. Barnett, 62, was found dead in his truck in what was determined to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 9, 2024, in Charleston, South Carolina, according to local police reports. At the time of his death, he resided in Louisiana. The tragic incident followed days of intense questioning by attorneys regarding allegations he made against Boeing related to aircraft safety defects, according to court documents.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court in South Carolina, claims that Boeing orchestrated a systematic “campaign of harassment, abuse, and intimidation intended to discourage, discredit, and humiliate him until he would either give up or be discredited.”
