The death of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, found with self-inflicted wounds on March 9, has sparked outrage and conspiracy theories online. Barnett, who had previously warned that his potential death should not be considered suicide, was found dead in his truck at a Holiday Inn in Charleston. Prior to his death, Barnett had made allegations of retaliation by Boeing and claimed that Boeing managers spied on him. His concerns were detailed in a 32-page document related to a federal trial set for July. Additionally, Barnett's amended complaint highlighted criticism from his bosses in a 2014 performance review for being overly 'knowledgeable,' suggesting he knew too much about the company's safety and quality control failures.
