The family of former Boeing quality control manager John Barnett filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the aviation giant on Thursday, alleging the company engaged in systematic harassment and intimidation that ultimately led to Barnett’s suicide, according to attorneys representing the family in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Police said that Barnett, 62, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 9, 2024, in Charleston, South Carolina. At the time of his death, Barnett lived in Louisiana.
