Another whistleblower who publicly spoke out about safety issues with Boeing planes has died, less than two months after fellow whistleblower John Barnett died from a gunshot wound police have yet to finish investigating.
Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first to allege wilful ignorance of manufacturing defects on the notorious 737 MAX, died after a "short and sudden illness", the Seattle Times reports.
The 45-year-old was reportedly "known for a healthy lifestyle" but fell ill and was admitted to hospital a little over two weeks ago due to breathing difficulties. He was subsequently diagnosed with pneumonia and a severe bacterial infection known as MRSA.
Despite various treatments, his condition worsened rapidly before it was revealed he had suffered a stroke, and Dean's mother posted on Facebook on April 26 that he was "fighting for his life".
He died Tuesday morning (local time), the Seattle Times quotes his aunt Carol Parsons as confirming. A Spirit spokesperson said: "Our thoughts are with Josh Dean's family. This sudden loss is stunning news here and for his loved ones."

In the 1990s Michael Crichton wrote an eerily prescient novel about the very stuff that’s been happening around the Boeing controversies. He had it all, whistle blowers, fake parts, corporate subterfuge, and a craven media making the most of the opportunity to spread scandal at the expense of personal lives. Read “AirFrame” and watch what he predicted 30 years ago, coming to pass today.
On 9-11, we pretty much knew when the first plane hit; and knew for absolutely sure after the second plane hit the TWC.
CEO? CFO? really? Perhaps you have not considered how many people have enormous amounts of money and power dependent on Boeing stock values and the letting of new contracts. Perhaps you have not considered how absurdly easy it is to infect someone with MRSA. It doesn't even need to be a conspiracy.
Coincidence? Of course a coincidence is possible. It is also possible that you are not a troll. It is still prudent to pay attention and weigh the possibilities.
You must not have gotten the memo.
They aren’t conspiracy theories anymore.
They’re spoilers.
Seems Boeing Unions are getting serious.
What a coinkydink!
I am not attacking you. It’s just the general tone of the conversation. You isn’t you personally, but Y’all.
Oh...the one where maybe 1% of the conspiracy theories are true? Yeah - missed that one.
Again, just wondering who - and please name names - you think put out the hit on these two guys. If you cannot name names, you have no credibility whatsoever.
