The sudden death of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett is continuing to grow even more suspicious after his close friend just revealed the bone-chilling warning he made shortly before he was found dead of an apparent “suicide.”

Barnett died on March 9 at the age of 62.

He was found dead in his vehicle after being killed by, what police have described as, a “self-inflicted wound.”

Prior to his death, Barnett had “been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company,” per the BBC.

After working with Boeing for 32 years, Barnett retired from the company in 2017 for health reasons.

From 2010, he worked as a quality manager at the North Charleston plant making the 787 Dreamliner, a state-of-the-art airliner used mainly on long-haul routes, according to the BBC.

In 2019, Barnett told the BBC that under-pressure workers had been deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the production line.

He continued to expose major safety issues with the aircraft company and blew the whistle on efforts to cover up the issues.

While Boeing denied all of his claims, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed in 2017 that some of his arguments had merit.

After revealing that Boeing neglected safety concerns, Barnett accused the company of retaliating against him for his disclosures.

He died on March 9 during a break from depositions in a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit.

“Barnett’s death came during a break in depositions in a whistleblower retaliation suit, where he alleged under-pressure workers were deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the assembly line.” the Daily Mail reported.

Charleston police said Barnett was found in his truck “suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.”
