From the Daily Mail, "Boeing whistleblower Joshua Dean, 44, who accused supplier of ignoring safety flaws in 737 Max production dies suddenly almost two months after airline's former quality control manager John Barnett took his own life."
Joshua Dean, a quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems, previously said he was fired in April 2023 for questioning standards at the supplier's plant in Wichita, Kansas.
Spirit manufactured the door plug on the Boeing jet which shockingly blew out midair on an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
Dean died in hospital on Tuesday after a sudden illness, his family said on social media.
Earlier this year, Dean spoke with NPR about his firing. 'I think they were sending out a message to anybody else. If you are too loud, we will silence you,' he said.
And did they?
Doctors found that Dean contracted MRSA and tested positive for influenza B, while a further scan found that he also suffered a stroke.
Well, it would all make more sense if they went to Boeing hospitals.
