Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, whose body was found in a vehicle in South Carolina on March 9, had allegedly told a family friend that if anything were to happen to him, it wouldn’t be a result of suicide.
The 62-year-old was found dead “from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” according to the Charleston County Coroner’s office, on the day he was scheduled to give his deposition in his case against Boeing.
