Before His Death, Boeing Whistleblower Warned He Would Not Commit Suicide
John Barnett, the 62-year-old Boeing whistleblower discovered dead from a gunshot wound, had previously told a family friend not to believe what authorities would say if he was found dead.
The close family friend claims he insisted, "I ain't scared" before adding, "but if anything happens to me, it's not suicide."
She said, "I know that he did not commit suicide. There's no way."
"I think somebody didn't like what he had to say and wanted to shut him up and didn't want it to come back on anyone, so that's why they made it look like a suicide," she said.
A coroner's report said Barnett died from a "self-inflicted" wound, though the Charleston Police Department is still making inquiries.
