Boeing whistleblower John Barnett is found dead just days after testifying against the aviation giant

A former Boeing staffer who once raised concerns about the company’s production standards has been found dead in the US.

John Barnett, 62, was found dead in his truck in a hotel parking lot in South Carolina, cops said Monday – seven years after he retired following a 32-year career.

The ex-quality manager at Boeing’s North Charleston plant died from a ‘self-inflicted’ wound, cops in Charleston said, adding that they were still investigating.
