The Boeing whistleblower who was found dead earlier this month claimed a manager at his former company spied on him, and he was “harassed, denigrated, [and] humiliated” for raising concerns about quality control issues, according to documents released by his attorneys.
The Charleston County Coroner’s Office told Fox News Digital that John Barnett, 62, died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Saturday, March 9. Prior to his death, Barnett was taking legal action against Boeing over actions he alleged led to his “constructive discharge” in March 2017 and was seeking damages including back pay, lost benefits and emotional distress.
