When a CEO dies, thousands of news articles flood the media like monsoon rains over an arid field. But when a whistleblower dies, not even the most independent news outlets dare break the silence.
Why is that?
One after another, countless whistleblowers have died from mysterious circumstances or suicide.
Days before his death, former Boeing employee John Barnett testified against the aerospace giant for implementing sub-standard parts and defective oxygen systems on its planes, according to The Independent.
Then, on March 9, 2024, Barnett was found dead with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head, even though he had shown no previous indication of taking his own life.
According to Fox News, despite his attorneys’ demands for further investigation, the Charleston Police Department was quick to rule out Barnett’s death as a suicide.
Within months after Barnett’s death, another Boeing whistleblower was found dead from a bacterial infection.
Former quality auditor Joshua Dean had raised concerns about Spirit AeroSystems, a major Boeing supplier that was forcing employees to ignore dangerous manufacturing defects, according to NPR.
The strange part is that Dean had never gotten sick or been to the hospital even once before then. His mother said that he was an active “health nut” who worked out and watched his diet.
Yet after blowing the whistle, he somehow contracted influenza B, pneumonia, and MRSA staph infection all at once. Odd, isn’t it?
